While some people in Japan are worried about the internationalization of sumo this study is trying to encourage it is the third world.
In physical activities that require contact, manners are very important. For instance, in sumo, competitors must bow to each other before and after the game. Children come to have respect for others as a result of the training process.
・Children develop positive attitudes and acquire the ability to control their emotions after winning or losing a game. They feel fulfilled after they have devoted all their energy to the sumo game. They make an effort to win the game, but also gain valuable experience whether they win or lose.
・Children develop the ability to manage personal relationships. They learn to support other players while they play the sumo and develop a sense of unity through playing sumo.
・Children acquire perseverance and compassion. They come to understand others・ pain.
They learn to apologize to others or care about and help others.
・Children lean to strengthen their minds through concentration.
・Children become aware of their own physical capabilities as well as those of others.
・The abilities acquired during playing a sport such as sumo can contribute to the development of skills for other sports.
・Taking part in sumo helped foster parent-child relationships. The children who enjoy the sumo classes were more willing to talk about the sessions with their guardians and in some cases, even reported practicing with their parents.
・The session helped encourage the development of life-long skills which could be used in late adult sports participation.
But I am not so sure this qualifies as good manners:
For example, in this study, most of the children did not hesitate to play and engage in physical contact with the opposite sex.
It is important for elementary school pupils to be motivated in the development of physical activity by engaging in a wide variety of activities.
