Sumo Punx

How does it feel to be up on the dohyo in front of the entire world? What's the food like in Alabama? What are some of the trial and tribulations of starting a sumo club in North Carolina? Is it terrifying to be mere feet away from Ōsunaarashi when he's super angry? We asked Eric Huynh, the founder of Raijin Sumo Club, who recently returned from competing in the 2022 World Games!

Does Ryuden deserve forgiveness? Is Chiyoshoma secretly a Tolkienesque villain? Will Gagamaru play drums in our band? The only thing we know for sure is that we're actually kind of glad the Nagoya basho is over now.

Complete pandemonium in Nagoya as EIGHT stables including almost 150 wrestlers have now pulled out of the basho due to covid infection, with many predicting even more in the coming 5 day until the end of the tournament. Will we make it until Day 15?

Despite the controversy that surrounded the 2022 World Games sumo competition, it sure was one hell of a show! We're so proud of all the competitors! The Nagoya Basho has been pretty wild as well with many rikishi dropping out and fighting through injuries. Will this be Ichonojo's yusho?

Things get pretty ridiculous in this episode as we examine the Sumo Arc of an anime/manga series that is currently one of the most popular and most outrageous! Bulging from the pages of a manga that has been running for other 30 years, Baki keeps the shonen genre fresh with its over-the-top story and art, and throwing a bunch of rikishi into the mix only built up that bulge bigger and badder!

Have you ever wanted to try doing sumo, but you didn't know where to start or thought it would never happen because of your background or resources? Nery experienced those same hurdles until he heard about the Cowboy Cup Sumo Open hosted by the Dallas Sumo Club, and decided he was going to start his very own sumo club! Now, the Ronin Rikishi Sumo Club in Oak Cliff (that's South Dallas for non-Texans) is one of the fastest growing sumo clubs in Texas! Learn how he got his club started and how the comradery of both his fellow Ronin Rikishi members and the greater Texas ichimon helped forge some super tough competitors in this episode!

Without much other exposure to sumo in the U.S., it's no wonder that so many amateur sumo wrestlers got their first taste for the excitement of this ancient combat sport through their love of anime. In this episode we discuss Hinomaru Sumo, its plot and characters (this is your only spoiler warning), some interesting trivia on how it relates to ancient Japanese weaponry, and how its dramatically shonen portrayal hooked a new wave of sumo enthusiasts. We also share the Hinomaru-style kimarite submissions from our fans!

The first annual Cowboy Cup has now come and gone, and one thing that everyone agrees on is that both the sun and the competition were SUPER HOT! And for some the anxiety of their first time competing was also threatening to combust. So in this episode we get some tips from our own Matt and his teammate Rick, both members of Dallas Sumo Club, on how they stayed so cool under the pressure of participating in their first official sumo tournament.

We go over a bit of pro sumo news before presenting our recent soiree with Mak and Jake of Grand Sumo Breakdown, where things go completely off the rails, the sky falls upon the earth, and the ground cracks open unleashing the unholy contents of hell until the only sounds that can be heard are the squelching of macaroni noises. 

The parts of this episode featuring Mak and Jake were previously released on the various platforms that host GSB. You can listen to their podcast here or watch them here. If you want to see what face Sabrina makes that completely breaks Mak, a video version of this can be found here.
