What you will need:
— Please bring Mawashi if you own one. I will do my best to have a basic mawashi for you to practice. But if you have a thick canvas that is 18inches wide and a minimum of 18feet long (I am a 34waist light weight, mine is 18'. Heavyweights are probably 24')
— Wear biker shorts...or not if you brought your own mawashi
— Please bring a Towel...this is more for the curtesy of the other person (gross).
— An open mind and an open heart...check the ego at the door. Sumo is any Person's game; big, strong, small, tall. We learn together, we grow together. Everyone has good days, and learning days.
LOCATION:
The beach flats inside the park.

-You win by forcing your opponent outside of the dohyō or causing them to touch down inside of the dohyō with anything other than the soles of their feet.
-No closed-hand striking .
-No kicking at or above the knee.
-No interlocking your fingers and crushing your opponent.
-No hairpulling, biting or choking.
-No untying of the mawashi.
-A loss is only a loss if nothing is learned from it.
Where: Zilker Park. Park at the Volleyball Courts area. We will sent up to the East of the Volley Ball Courts.
