Sumo in Martial Arts Styles

(In my experience, the skills are used in the following order, from most popular to least popular: Brawling, Karate, Judo, Wrestling, Boxing, and Sumo.)

In my games, the order is brawling, wrestling, sumo wrestling, karate, and I don't remeber to have ever seen judo and boxing. Yet we use harsh realism for unarmed fighting, which nerf karate and judo.
