Hey!
I'm pretty pleased to announce we have officially started a new Sumo club here in Australia, in Western Sydney!

My club, Yamano-oni (Oni from the mountains) had our first indoor training on Saturday, where we were lucky enough to train with Somayama from Japan, who you may know from Konnishiki's Sumo and Sushi.

This club has been in the works for a while, we are planning to hold tournaments in 2024 and grow Australian sumo as part of Australian Sumo Federation.

If you or someone you know is interested in Sumo in Sydney/Blue Mountains, then send us a message and we will get you started. We train every Thursday evening at 6:45pm, at PCYC Penrith

If you want to support Australian sumo please follow our page and watch us grow. Eventually we will produce internationally competitive athletes, so keep an eye on us.

Thankyou to John Traill Minaminoshima Isamu Prescott Falevai Lkhagvaa Duvchin Henry Bowley Vito Bazzana Joel Kindred for keeping Sumo here alive and enabling this to happen.
