  • Enter the Dark Circle - Interview with Justin Kizzart
    Oct 22 2024

    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.

The story of his experiences in sumo are full of triumph and loss, misfortune and opportunity, exploitation and courage. From the top division of grand sumo in Japan to working with movie stars in Los Angeles to teaching sumotori across the U.S.A., Yama tells his own story in his own words.
