I tried to not make it sound like a humblebrag. It was just a surprise to me and it still surprises me how much what I share seems to mean to people. I do feel like a better person for being here though. Everyone has been so supportive and it’s carried over to my real life and I’m glad I can return some of the happiness you all give to me by being such a kind audience.
I’ve peeked at your sumo link a few times, as I’m curious to watch some of it, and I had seen your link to the youtube channel to watch the matches, but I still don’t have much context. I know some of the basic rules, but perhaps if you know of some good Sumo for Noobs guides, they might be good for the sidebar. There seems to be a lot of ceremony and symbolism, but I tend to forget the finer details, and if there was a “now this right here is some fine sumo!” list of things to watch for, I think that would help.
