Sumo wrestling is one of the oldest forms of martial arts in Japan‚ and it is still a major sport that is populär with both men and women there. In ancient times‚ sumo contests were held only in the courtyards of Shinto shrines as a religious ritual performed for the gods to encourage them to grant a good harvest.

With my undefeated record‚ I found myself fooling around in practice

Sweat This room was my domain‚ my escape from reality‚ my room of hard work and determination. This overly heated room was one of my favorite places to be when I was in high school.

This giant room was where the best and most athletic athletes in the school came to practice and put in work to put a poster and their name of themselves on the wall next to the previous posters. As I open the door to my old high school wrestling room‚ I get hit in the

Today I’m thankful for my brother Trevor. Hard working‚ outgoing‚ funny‚ and simple are 4 words that describe him perfectly. No matter what he’s doing he puts his full effort into whatever it is.

If it was a few extra hours of studying to get a good grade‚ he would do it. But most of all‚ any time anything needs done
