Do Sumo wrestler really use their whole body to bang their opponent?

Do Sumo wrestler also has telepathy?

I am asking this question because it seems that some Sumo wrestler claim that they know they will win over their opponent after they see into the eyes of their opponent.

Well I don't know about telepathy, but controlling an opponent to some degree with one's eyes is possible. And through subtle body movements, etc. But none of this is restricted to sumo.

As far as using the whole body to bang the opponent, well, drawing the other into a state of inbalance without crashing into them is also done.

And of course there are those who *do* know being as how Sumo is as fixed as pro wrestling and has been for many many years.
