1. Crease in half both ways
Both sheets white side up. Fold each in half across and in half up and down, unfolding each time.
2. Fold the four corners to the centre
On both sheets, fold all four corners in to the centre point.
3. Turn over
Turn both over.
4. Fold the sides to the centre (kite)
Fold the left and right corners in on lines from the top corner, so the two upper edges meet the centre line.
5. Pull out the hidden corners
From behind, pull the two upper hidden corners out to the sides and flatten them. The top becomes a big diamond.
6. Fold the bottom point behind
Fold the bottom point behind, on the line where the side corners meet the centre.
7. Fold the top down
Fold the top half of the diamond down in front, on the line between its side corners. A white triangle appears.
8. Fold the point back up (head)
About a third of the way down the white triangle, fold its point back up. The point sticking out at the top becomes the head.
9. Turn over
Turn both over.
10. Fold the belt point down
The tip of the coloured triangle at the bottom pokes up a little above the belt. Fold that tip down along the top edge of the belt.
11. Fold in half behind
Fold the right half behind along the vertical centre line.
12. Stand them up face to face
With the fold at the back, open the two halves a little and stand each wrestler up. Set them face to face so their arms (the white points) touch. Done!

Tip:
Finished!
Well done! Watch it again or try another model.
How to play (tap-tap sumo)
- Turn an empty box upside down and draw a round ring on top. Stand the two wrestlers face to face in the middle.
- Say “Hakkeyoi!” and each player taps their own edge of the box with their fingers. The wrestlers wobble and push each other.
- The first wrestler to fall over or leave the ring loses.
- Try opening the two halves a little more or less to find the strongest stance.
