Jesse Kahoaalohakūpaʻa 7 Posted July 12, 2015 Aloha kākou, First let me say mahalo to all the moderators/host and contributors to the forum. This is a great site and I have been stalking on and off for a couple of years now but have finally registered. For your sake I’ll just keep this short… I’m a former collegiate/Greco-Roman wrestler. Discovered Sumo when I was causally researching other forms of grappling from around the world. Been following professional Japanese Sumo wrestling since 2002. I was blown away by the determination and drive of a one Asashōryū (朝青龍) and made every effort to watch as many Basho as I could; not an easy endeavor living in the states! When Nihon Sumo Kyokai started steaming Basho live starting with Jonokuchi matches I was in heaven… now those days are gone, but oh well. Not sure how much I will be able to contribute but I will do my best to offer some substance to any posts/thread I participate in! Mahalo nui, everyone, for reading! - Jesse 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
