Practice Sumo

[JAB]

I am curious how many people who post on this board actually practice / compete in Sumo on any level?

Pro - Sumo:

Amateur Sumo:

Thanks

I don't think you'll get anyone answering to the pro sumo part :-(

I've put amateur sumo - I train for tournaments we have (to make up the competition numbers mainly) but do not train throughout the year as our federation tends to go dormant when there are no tournaments on. We have at least one annual tournament and then maybe the odd other event now and again.

Thanks! I asked about the Pro because you never know who is one the world wide inter-tube :-(

May I ask who is "we"? A local NZ group? Do you all train in another grappling art outside of sumo, or just sumo every now and then?

Thanks

Just the group based in Auckland, numbering perhaps as many as 5 if we are lucky. We only do sumo.

I compete with my grandsons ( very hard training sessions, like "kawaigary" to me ), also I'm Pro Grandfather, amateur in sumo & love my Chair Arm (Being unsure...) , how can I vote, and where? (Shaking head...)
