The United States Sumo Federation was invited to participate in this year’s Los Angeles Fit Expo.  We had a booth set up among other health and fitness companies, educating the public about sumo in the United States.  In addition to the booth, we performed a demonstration on the main expo stage.  I was joined onstage by Troy Collins, Trent Sabo, Jovann Rushing, Doug Cochran, and little sumo champ Shannon Cochran.

After the expo, we got to watch Phil Heath win the 19th Annual IFBB Iron Man Pro Bodybuilding Championships.

It’s possible that the USSF will produce a sumo tournament at next year’s LA Fit Expo.
