2014 US Sumo Open complete broadcast now on Youtube

[Kasutera]

I guess Universal Sports Network relinquished distribution rights after a year. Here is LAST year's U.S. Sumo Open. Good to have a nice high-quality video of some ama-sumo on the internet, with the added historical significance of seeing the genesis of Homarenishiki.

Amateur sumo in the states is almost always ACTUALLY a bunch of fat people pushing each other around....

When i saw "high-quality" near "ama-sumo" I was going to say something about the complete lack of quality of American/International sumo, but I then noticed it's the video that's high-quality, not the sumo.

Brodi vs. ex-Wakanoho 57:09

Brodi vs. Byamba 1:23:30

Brodi looked just as stiff and uncomfortable as he does now in Ozumo.

@Kasutera: Did you participate in this tournament?

Brodi did amazingly there. I can definitely see the potential.

@Kasutera: Did you participate in this tournament?

I did, but didn't make it past the prelim rounds. You can catch some footage of me losing to Sebastian Videla in one of the cuts to commercial.
