Kasutera 258 Posted December 1, 2015 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. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamcornheinz 839 Posted December 1, 2015 Amateur sumo in the states is almost always ACTUALLY a bunch of fat people pushing each other around.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurowake 4,152 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) 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.

Gurowake 4,152 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited December 1, 2015 by Gurowake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kasutera 258 Posted December 7, 2015 @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. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
