This week on the Krewe of Japan Podcast<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in time for the final weekend of the Spring Tournament\/Haru Basho in Osaka, Doug<\/strong> & Nigel<\/strong> talk all things Sumo with Andrew Freund<\/strong>, director of USA Sumo and 2012 Martial Arts History Museum Hall of Fame inductee. Andrew shares his story of how he went from corporate English teacher in Japan to coordinating & facilitating high profile sumo events including the annual US Sumo Open & sumo appearances on ESPN SportsCenter & John Wick 2. He also shares in-depth insight into the sport that he’s learned and gained great appreciation for through his countless (if not daily) interactions with professional sumo legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
