Won't someone please think of the children! In this episode we got to chat with Ben and his mom Kalynn, the founders of Iron Mountain Sumo Club deep in the mountains of Elizabethton, Tennessee. Iron Mountain has been absolutely slaying the competition in the US sumo youth division with not only one but TWO you competitors qualifying to go to Tokyo for the World Sumo Championship! Not only that, but the sumo mom herself gave us a bunch of awesome tips on how to support any young'un who wants to start their quest for yokozuna!

If you would like to support all the US youth competitors heading out to Japan in October you can donate/share the following links:
