Tsukidashi

What is Tsukidashi?

Tsukidashi is another technique used in sumo wrestling. In this maneuver, a wrestler uses a series of powerful thrusts (tsuki) to push their opponent out of the ring (dohyo) without grabbing the opponent's mawashi (the belt or loincloth worn by sumo wrestlers). The wrestler focuses on maintaining a strong stance and delivering rapid, forceful pushes to drive the opponent backward until they step out of the ring or lose balance and fall. Tsukidashi is a demonstration of strength and technique, relying on the wrestler's ability to generate and sustain powerful thrusts.
