For those who are not familiar with us, I founded and run the only sumo group in Houston, I just wanted to share a quick video that one of our members made, and if any of you enjoy sumo and are in the greater Houston area, I hope that you'll come to a practice session (Keiko) with us!

You may have seen us at some food festivals and such, we've done collaboration events with Otaku Food Festival, Tokyo Night Festival, Anime Houston, Collect-A-Con, Night Market at the Asia Society Texas Center, and many more!

I want to note that our Sumo club is for EVERYONE, you don't have to be a huge person to do it, most of our members are actually not all that large! Many of our guys are considered "small". We don't have any active women members, we actively seek to have more women members! Also, some of our members do it just for fun, some want to compete and do compete, while others just do it for the workout and the fun of it! (However the practices are entirely made for competition training)

Sumo is the ultimate contest of might, a bout where two enter a ring and only one remains within it seconds later. The Way of Sumo teaches its students to stand their ground and maintain perfect discipline and form to meet whatever challenge they face. This is Sumodo or "The Way of Sumo".

If you have any questions about Sumo Wrestling at all please let me know and we can discuss it!

Thank you very much!

I just got off a video call with the sumo teams in Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio about our plans for Texas Sumo 2022... Lets just say we have tons of events planned for the future, some of which will be events in Houston!

Some of our events involve just demos within our team with audience participation afterwards (even kids can do it!), however once a year we host a tournament where all the Sumo teams in Texas and sometimes other states comes in to compete!

If you want to be involved (Women can do it too! We have 1 woman member, please join so she has a partner!), please feel free to DM me on here or on Instagram @ Shogeki.Sumo!

We train 3 days a week at the premium health club O Athletik, Sundays 3-5pm, Tuesdays 7-9pm, and Thursdays 8-10pm.

This is a very niche group but we're very open to accepting everyone so we can all share our love in sumo!

​

Attached are pictures of a sumo seminar we just did, we plan to do another one within the next month!

First Houston Inter-Stable practice session over at O Athletik ✊

​

O Athletik has been a great home for Shōgeki Sumo, and we have had a good amount of new members and interest, therefore we wanted to host a training session led by Justin Kizzart of Dark Circle Sumo from Austin who just placed 2nd 🥈 place in Men’s Lightweight for the North American Tournament in Vegas!!!

​

Those who medal'd in the North American Tournament will present Team USA in the World Games, so we will have multiple former and current National Team Members!

​

If anybody wants to come and join us please feel free!!!

​

When?

January 2nd from 12-2pm

​

For all those who have been maybes and we’re interested but didn’t decide to come join us.

This video was professionally edited by a friend of mine and I hope that it can do well as it's one of the best short edited videos of American Sumo I've personally seen IMO. This was for the tournament I hosted for Houston, the inaugural tournament, with much support from the other Texas clubs Dark Circle Sumo (Austin), Mighty Eagle Sumo (San Antonio), and Dallas Sumo Club (...Dallas... lol), whatever support you can provide I would absolutely love.

I've said it before but my mission is to grow Sumo in the US and I hope you enjoy the video! https://www.instagram.com/p/CUpy8HfF55y/

Hey y'all, I posted before about Sumo Wrestling and a lot of y'all liked it. So I just wanted to let y'all know that I as well as a bunch of other Texas Sumo Clubs will be in Houston for this event! I have invited Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio to come, and they are all confirmed to come! We will have an AMAZING tournament, it will be open-weight, which means you may see someone weighing just 140lbs vs someone weighing 370lbs!!! If you want more updates about Sumo, or if you want to ask me questions about this event, I'll try to answer on this post but I am mostly on Instagram under JackieScamm!

​

Other than that, the event will be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! First off it's FREEEEEE, second, it's a CHARITY EVENT, third, this event is specifically made to combat misconceptions in Japanese culture, but most specifically foods! The vendors menu has been specifically formulated to represent correctly Japanese cuisine, this will be an absolutely amazing event that y'all will NOT want to miss!

Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I shared my sumo videos earlier and some people were showing interest, I then learned that you cannot comment pictures nor DM pictures so I had no way of getting the flyer to those interested. I plan to post this here for anyone interested as well as linking this to them.

I rarely use reddit so I'm not completely sure on the etiquette and what not, but if I don't reply on here my Instagram handle goes by the same name "Jackiescamm" so feel free to contact me on there about Sumo if I don't get back to you here, we'd love to have you! First month free!

Again, so sorry if I'm using Reddit incorrectly :/

I know this is a bit out of the box and off the wall but... YES, we do have amateur Sumo Wrestling in Houston!

Here is some of my sparring matches a few days ago, I started to have to tape my right big toe due to spraining it twice in 1 month during training, you could hear a loud snap across the entire gym when it happened!

I just wanted to share this, there's still so much more we have to work on, we're trying to seriously ramp up practice so that we can be competitive, especially because in December there will be a tournament in Vegas, and those who qualify will represent the US in Poland for an international tournament!

I usually share this stuff to my Instagram, but every now and then I like to share it on Reddit too :)

If any of you are interested please let me know and I could provide you more details!

Sumo Practice in H-Town!
