[@sammyoak5378]

Yokozuna Seth

[@Lazy--Bones]

@@sammyoak5378 I think "Rikishi Seth" or "Sumotori Seth" would be a much better fit Yokozuna is the highest rank, not a general definition for "master" or "teacher". It seems to me that such a channel name would be disrespectful to the cultural aspect of sumo. Yokozuna is seen as a demigod by people who take sumo seriously. You can't be self-aggrandizing like that in my op. It is not worthy.

[@PaMuShin]

Then we would need a wing chun kevin channel too. And a muay thai mike channel and so forth.

As a former offensive lineman for 10ish years, I've always maintained a VERY strong lower-body. Even during an unhealthy time when I dropped down to 175lbs I had a 40 inch hips. Even at my largest as an adult (250 lbs) squats are pretty much effortless, muscle endurance is great. All that to say I have been considering doing Sumo as sort of a hobby because I always want to stay active. Especially since surviving Stage 4 Cancer a few years ago. Watching Seth go for it is really making me want to make some calls in my state to see if there is any organization that would have me train and possibly compete. Congrats on the win! (Imma come for your medal, Seth!)

[@sumo_bola]

Join us bro. Sumo is a blast.

[@thamomentum]

You beat Stage 4 Cancer. You absolute beast. Nothing can get in your way.

[@lake0417]

bro no disrespect intended but what does 175 with a 40 inch waist even look like? how tall are you?

[@CaptainCow9]

​@@lake0417as an offensive lineman he would most likely be 6foot 4 if he was playing a guard position up to like 6foot 7 if he was a Tackle. Could be anywhere in-between and give or take an inch or 2 but generally that's the height of linemen in football

The officials robbed Jared's opponent. Jared's left toe stepped out first, and the other guy should have been rightfully awarded 1st.

[@joshuahitchins1897]

​@@ultimatefactschampionship8758 I don't know the exact rules if that step counts as out or not. While we have the benefit of instant replay, I trust the officials to know the rules better than we do.

[@MrSirFluffy]

@@ultimatefactschampionship8758 It's such a small thing, hard to spot live. That said, a coach of mine said "You can't be salty about things like that as it happens to everyone.

[@mikemeijer9669]

I remember first watching the original Sensei Seth Tries Sumo video ages ago, and thinking to myself "This is kinda ridiculous but I guess it'll still be entertaining since it's Seth", but with every subsequent video and the manner in which the martial art is explained, and the great storyboarding and plot-building that is shown through exceptional scripting, editing, and whatever Sensei Seth Magic you work time and time again, I have become enamoured with the art, and fully invested in your Sumo journey. I really wonder if you fully realise how significant the positive effect you have on so many of your viewers is. Thanks for everything Seth. 🙏

Seth needs to do Sumo on "Street Beefs." I'll scream "Go git'im, Paw!" and shriek hysterically in support. Or "K.O.T.S", either one.

[@Memorixt]

Kind of true. A bit of surprisingly from basically karate master he already proved the applicability of sumo during the Self-defence Championship; would be interesting to see it in Amateur MMA. …But I think our Sensei Seth is a too kind person to go to street beefs.

[@charpool169]

​@@Memorixt well they do already hold more then just MMA fights, I could see them at least giving sumo a try even if it doesn't stick. I do kinda agree that I don't think Seth would be much of a fit for that though, it tends to draw in the people looking to fight rather then looking to compete. Seth definitely comes across more of a competitor then a fighter.

[@13Veiwer]

Its incredible when you remember that Seth is a karate-base martial artist who has dabbled in more than a handful other styles/arts and still regularly practices others. This is the journey! Great work!

[@monkeyboy275bobo8]

I think he also has a wrestling background.

[@jonharker9028]

@@monkeyboy275bobo8 Seth's only real meaningful background influence aside from karate - which is by far his primary background - was his high school sport of American football. It definitely has some carry-over, but not everyone who has tried the same gridiron-to-sumo switch has been so successful. He has also done about five(?) years of Muay Thai now, but his lifelong sport was definitely karate until he started exploring a variety of arts and then picked up sumo.

[@austinfontenot8955]

I always thought sumo was mildly interesting. You've turned me into a full blown fan. And I've said it before, you went from being the pretty funny martial arts channel to sometimes doing outright documentaries. Love the progression you've made in sumo and as a general person. Awesome stuff man! We're all rooting for you!

[@finnmarr-heenan2397]

During lockdown the Japanese sumo tournament where the only sport on before the ufc, I got really into . To me the most interesting aspect is the tournament bracket structure, guys have to compete multiple times a day, with everyone trying to maintain or rank up lots dramatic rematches and last stands or rivalry. Plus the sheer size and athleticism of these giants , if u see them train u realise it’s not just fat .

It's always inspiring to see the mutual respect between competitors in something like this. Every person on that podium KNOWS that the others worked their ass off to stand beside them. You can't resent that. Which also makes it super satisfying when the person you're rooting for gets the win. You just know that it was NOT easy for them. Congrats on a well-earned win, Seth! And congrats to the rest of the Raijin Sumo Club members who competed their heart out, you all did amazing!

It is a pity that he get silver this time, but he prepared, trained and brought several athletes to a high professional level, as far as I understand.
