 MWR Sasebo offers sailors a chance to experience a piece of Japanese culture. Pede Officer Viegas visits the ring to bring us this story. Getting out and exploring Japan can be challenging between deployments and duty. However, MWR Sasebo gave sailors the chance to experience both action and culture in a single trip to the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament. American fighting and they're swearing at each other and going nuts with each other but here they're very polite and respectful towards each other even after the fight. It's very clean games. In addition to catching the action, sailors also learned about some of the rich history behind the sport. The sumo wrestling itself started as a ritual right of the Shintoism. Before they start the match, they throw the salt as a purification. Pede Officer Sera Viegas, Fukuoka Kokusai Center, Japan.
