London training.
Lance visited London Sumo Club recently and enjoyed some focussed coaching as quite a few regulars were resting after the European Sumo Championships.
This session focussed on tachiai (start) and on diagonal movement and using opponents arm to control balance.
Thanks you Sonny!
Sumo is for EVERY body.
One thing that people are sometimes surprised to discover is that Sumo is not just huge guys.
Sumo at amateur level is open to everyone and all body types. It has weight classes (like Judo) so you don’t have to compete against huge size differences.
Great afternoon training Sumo at London Sumo Club yesterday.
We now have the dohyō ready for our June 22nd taster session in Southampton (on loan).
It’s going to be great fun, hope to see you all there.
Huge congratulations to our friends from South Coast Sumo who earned gold in Middle weight, silver in light heavy (counting Jack who technically is Aylesbury) and bronze in open weight.
Hoping next time Southampton will be there to represent!
Good luck to our friends at South Coast Sumo who are competing in Burnley today.
