What are the advantages of sumo?

Sumo has many advantages. Here are some common advantages:

1. The hard pull of sumo relies more on the strength of knee extension, and the pull-up distance is short, which makes it easier to make mistakes, making it a "traditional pull with extra wide station distance". The traditional hard pull has a long distance, but the technology is relatively simple and easy to master.

2. Because most senior players have stronger hip extension and most junior players have stronger knee extension, it is easier for senior players to get good grades by traditional pulling, while junior players usually get good grades by sumo pulling.

3. Sumo is more suitable for athletes with short limbs (give full play to the advantages of strong knee extension, and short pull-ups make up for the lack of long pull-ups in technical movements), while traditional wrestling is more suitable for athletes with long limbs (give full play to the advantages of strong hip extension and short pull-ups make up for the lack of technical movements).
