As we approach Father's Day this Sunday let's pay homage to John Jacques from the United States Sumo Federation a friend of the Phoenixville Sumo Club from the beginning.

They call him the Godfather of U.S. Sumo — and for good reason.

John discovered Sumo through Ernie Hunt. He spent a summer training in Japan in order to bring back knowledge and experience to help develop Sumo in the USA. From competing, to coaching, and mentoring he has given over 50 years of his passion and experience as a gift to Sumo in the United States.
