Sumo isn't really a sport in the true sense of the word. It's a combination of sport, religion and entertainment wrapped up in a quasi-monastic and militaristic lifestyle.
Every sumo wrestler belongs to a heya. While the word literally means "room," it is normally translated into English as stable.
A heya isn't just a designation either. It's an actual physical place where wrestlers live, eat, sleep and train.
