One of our favorite sumo tournaments throughout the year is the Consulate's Cup in Dripping Springs, just outside of Austin, Tx. This tournament is organized by Justin Kizzart, who is also the founder of Austin's own Dark Circle Sumo. If it weren't for Justin, we may not be as obsessed with sumo as we are now! In this episode, we talk to him about his amazing tournament, his powerful sumo club, his skankin' past, and the future of Texas sumo.

If you've never heard of Sensei Seth, you're really missing out. He's a martial artist with a rather large following on YouTube where, for the last few years, he's made it his life's mission to try every martial art and combat sport in existence.

This week we got a chance to talk to Noah Wellbrock-Talley. You've probably already seen his artwork online, and if you've entered any sumo themed contests lately you may have even had a chance to win some of his artwork. Not only is he an extremely talented artist, but he is also a fastidious researcher of grand sumo! He is obsessed with studying past and present rikishi, calculating all sorts of data to gain a deeper understanding of this ancient sport. And he's sure got a lot of interesting (and possibly incendiary) things to say about it! If you're interested in seeing some of the artwork mentioned in this episode, check out our post on Instagram. You can also find his artwork at the links below.
