00:05it's cold and flu season so I'm looking at good soup recipes and I land in a big
00:10fat wiki hole of sumo and I found out that these dudes only eat soup excuse me pardon me come
00:18again

00:41to ask a
00:41bit about you how did you get into sumo tell me what you do is it obvious yeah I actually
00:49worked
00:49in Japan years ago and I did some other martial arts okay and I actually saw a sumo demo here
00:53and I thought it was cool I tried a little bit I started a club and the rest is history
00:57so I've
00:58been running these practices week after week for many many years it's almost like upholding or
01:02maintaining a cultural tradition that's been around for centuries they live virtually the
01:08same lifestyle that their predecessors lived centuries ago what they wear where they can
01:13go the hierarchy the food yeah all of that is almost like preserving an ancient culture so
01:20we're actually fortunate in this country you know as Americans who are doing it on an amateur
01:24level to have somebody like Yama who's kind of a legend huge hugely successful pro sumo wrestler
01:29and he's here coaching with us you know working out with us
