Why Sumo: A Deep Dive with JJ, Head of Honu Sumo

[@marshallhatfield8383]

the starting of your club had a profoundly positive impact on my life and it was interesting that you looked to integrate other martial arts into sumo while your teacher thought the opposite

Like many aspects of life, I strive to identify commonalities and bridge gaps in understanding. While not everyone may fully embrace sumo, it’s undeniable that wrestling is a fundamental human expression, more innate than even speech. Every culture around the world has its own form of folk wrestling. Recognizing this universal connection, my goal is to illustrate how various wrestling traditions intersect and complement sumo, enriching our practice and appreciation of the sport.
