The 82 Kimarite
Every authorized winning technique in Sumo.
Professional Sumo recognizes exactly 82 winning techniques known as Kimarite, categorized into seven distinct groups that range from basic pushing maneuvers to complex throws and leg trips. In addition to these 82 techniques, there are 5 non-technique conditions (Hiseogi) that determine a victory.
The techniques are categorized into groups such as Kihonwaza (Basic), Nage-waza (Throwing), and Kake-waza (Leg tripping).
