I'm torn. I have two passions: Sumo wrestling and being a jockey. How can I combine both?

Find a VERY strong horse.  Or start a new division: Jockey Sumo Wrestling.  Short skinny people slapping each other around might find a niche in society.

Of course not. They are just sportsmen. WOudl you think that tennis players have a specific genetic makeup?\n\n_____\n\nJames the quetsion was whether Sumo wrestlers belong to a SPECIFIC gneetic makeup. Not whthere there are multiple genetic factors involve din becoming a SUmo wrestler. Those are very different subjects.\n\nAnd of course there is no SPECIFIC genetic makeup of Sumo wrestlers. There may be GENERIC genetic factors at play but definitely nothing specific.

Hey, do you know why nobody BETS on Pro Wrestling?  \n\nCause, it's fixed.   \n\nWatch the show, and be entertained.  It's not a real sport, it's just FUN.  \n\nAndre the Giant was the REAL DEAL.  On a recent program that reviewed his life, they pretty much said that he lost the big fight against the Hulkster, "for the good of the Sport".   He knew that his time was up.

I enjoy wrestling. I wrestled one year in high school. I wasn't that great. Usually, when I lost, it was because of a few points. I didn't like that aspect of it because I always felt like if I had been wrestling that guy on the street, things would have been different. But I still enjoyed it and I think you should definitely pursue that while you're young. I have found that people who start wrestling at a young age usually do really well when they start collegiate wrestling. Good luck to you. I hope you achieve your dream!

I think you are the only person who really knows the answer. You probly wouldn't be asking if you hadn't thought it through already. Even though youv'e been wrestling for 6 years, you may be ready to move on. Everybody changes and progresses with thier life in different ways. Don't let other people pressure you into doing things you don't wanna do. good luck!

Now I happen to like my sports.  Maybe not football or basketball which has to depend on other members to win...........but I like Karate.  Where it's just me and the other person.  I get to kick his *ss and say I win or I lost.  Which I might say  (him kicking my *ss) will PROBABLY never happen.

The answer to this question depends on what you are looking for from either of these martial arts. Both of these martial arts have been used mostly for sport. If you are looking for sport, then either of the martial arts are good and it depends on whether you want to grapple or strike. It's like comparing apples to oranges really. If you are looking for self defense, then I would say train in both of them. If you can become proficient in Judo and Kickboxing, I think you will be more than capable of holding your own on the street. If you have to choose one over the other, I think you should go with the one you feel the most comfortable with. If you come from a boxing type background, try kickboxing. If you come from a wrestling type of background, go with Judo. They are both effective when placed in their proper context. I'm not sure if this helps but that's my opinion on the matter.

Yup, jockeys are the most in-shape and toughest athletes you can imagine. They are small, but they still need enough power to control and direct a thousand-pound animal. Plus, they need to condition the horses on a daily basis, along with the trainers. There isn't really any such thing as "a day off" in the horse industry.

Just like in any profession, you have to have the God given talent for it. If you don't, all your desire to be a great jockey will be in vain. With practice, you may become a fair jockey, but never be great.

Well... sumo is real, also Judo, GrecoRoman, School and every SPORT that has something to do with wrestling, BUT...\n\nI have to mention that TV wrestling demands a great physical condition, anyone who had wrestled for 3 minutes can tell, that is exhausting... so, I think every wrestler (show or sport) is a real athlete.\n\nDav.

I hear some boxers do a lot of jump roping and spitting when they need to make weight class.  Probably not very healthy, but might work.  Just remember, you might dehydrate.

Id be a race car driver or a videogame tester. That is because I am passionate about both.
