I am still waiting on media to be delivered before I make my next large post. In the meantime, here is a recap of Brodi Henderson's performance in the Aki Basho 2015. This was Brodi's second basho after his mae-zumo bouts, and he still wasn't too far removed from competing in American amateur sumo -... Continue Reading →
While there have been some sumo events in North America recently, including one in California and one in New Orleans, I am waiting to get a little more footage before I make posts about either. I am hoping that I can make a post about the New Orleans events next weekend. We will see! In... Continue Reading →
It has been awhile since the last update! I had family obligations last week, and I have been catching up at work since then. So, sorry for no post last week, and I apologize for this post being late. Nevertheless, I will try my best to continue the weekly updates, even if they are sometimes... Continue Reading →
Better late than never! As noted in my recent post about Fitcon2019 Sumo Cup, I am still traveling regularly for my job, so my posts are starting to get uploaded a little later than usual. I am still dedicated to posting one a week, but I apologize to all readers that the posts may not... Continue Reading →
Today's post is a review of Musashikuni Mamu's performance in the Kyūshū Basho 2013. I could only find video for three of the seven matches, so this post doesn't give a full perspective of Musashikuni's performance in this basho. Nevertheless, I still enjoy making gifs of these early matches, and thereby this post may contribute... Continue Reading →
This week, I decided to create more gifs of Wakaichirō's prior matches. I find it interesting to review his early performances, but I also find it oddly relaxing to make these gifs. There is a little bit of zen to be found in going back through these old basho. In this post, I provide gifs... Continue Reading →
As mentioned in my last few posts, some YouTube accounts that upload sumo videos are being taken down due to these accounts being deleted. I periodically download videos of Musashikuni and Wakaichiro to ensure that I have copies, but I do not do it near enough. So, to help motivate myself, I like to make... Continue Reading →
[Author Edit: Although I thought that I was reusing the original header image from a legitimate source, John Gunning informed me that it was actually an image taken by him and reused without his permission. I have removed my original header image by his request, and will replace it when I have the time to... Continue Reading →
NorthAmericanSumo.com has a page dedicated to Wakaichirō Ken's match history with video links. I think it is a good idea to periodically backup these videos in gif form, in case they are ever removed from YouTube. Creating these gifs and providing YouTube links (hopefully) draws traffic to the original video, too, which benefits those that... Continue Reading →
On NorthAmericanSumo.com, we have a page dedicated to Musashikuni Mamu's match history with video links I recently noticed that some of these videos have already been taken down due to YouTube accounts being deleted. For this reason, I feel it is a good idea that I periodically backup some of these videos in gif form. ... Continue Reading →
