SUMO CLUB
RING KINGS
JAPANESE GARDEN ATTRACTS SUMO WRESTLING PRACTICE
Story by RACHEL STONE Photography by JESSICA TURNER
IT’S A COOL FALL MORNING in Kidd Springs Park.
Sleepyheads are walking their dogs. Ducks are quacking. And up on the dewy grass, four full-bodied men are counting in Japanese while vigorously stretching.
One of them is wearing a cowboy hat, a buttocks-baring loincloth and nothing else.
This is the Dallas Sumo Club.
The guy in the hat is 33-year-old Corey Morrison, who founded the club in January.
They meet here in the park’s Japanese garden every Wednesday.
Jared Tadlock drives from Fort Worth to attend practice. He’s a former amateur and professional wrestler who says the club helped him get into better shape and drop some pandemic weight.
He saw sumo wrestling for the first time in high school, the same way many Americans have been introduced to the sport, on ESPN at 3 a.m.
“You see this pageantry, and it’s so ornate, and then guys get in there and they’re just beating each other up,” Tadlock says. “It’s a whole other type of wrestling than what I was used to.”
Searching for a sumo club in the Dallas area back in 2015, he contacted Tom Zabel at Mighty Eagle Sumo in San Antonio, one of Texas’ three other sumo clubs, who put him on a mailing list in case of any other interest from Dallas/Fort Worth.
Fast forward to January 2019, when Morrison and his girlfriend, a burlesque performer named Siggy Sauer, watched their first livestream of a sumo tournament on Twitch. They haven’t missed one since.
Japanese pro tournaments are every other month for 15 days. There are hundreds of sumo wrestlers, and everyone fights once a day.
“We got sucked into the fandom of it,” Morrison says. “We would stay up drinking Japanese beer and sake, and we used to have watch parties.”
Morrison is a director of photography for musicals and films. The couple bonds over a mutual admiration of Japanese art and culture.
A deep dive on sumo brought him to a video of Chiyonofuji Mitsugu, who in 1981 was the 58th person to reach the sport’s highest rank, yokozuna.
Americans always think of sumo wrestlers as big, fat guys, Morrison says.
“But this guy was jacked. He was ripped,”

he says. “He was handsome, he had muscles for days, and he was just tossing people left and right.”
Seeing that athleticism made him want to try it himself.
Dark Circle Sumo in Austin invited him to practice with its club, which has a few former collegiate and pro wrestlers.
Sumo is no joke. He wound up breaking a couple of ribs that day.
But he still came back for the club’s tournament in October last year, which attracted wrestlers from around the country. That’s where he found out about the email list of people from Dallas interested in sumo.
Morrison, who lives in Turtle Creek, found the Japanese garden at Kidd Springs Park while on a photoshoot a few years ago.
“There’s all that Japanese flora in there,” he says. “How cool is it to be doing Japan’s national sport in Dallas but surrounded by both native Japanese and native Texas nature?”
The club now has about 15 members, and four or five people is a good showing for Wednesday morning practice. It also has an indoor practice in Carrollton on Sundays.
The sumo club doesn’t mind photos. Just tag them on social media. And Morrison always has an extra mawashi, the traditional loincloth, for anyone who wants to jump in the ring.
Members don’t take themselves too seriously, Morrison says. But they do enter tournaments, and they want their club to keep growing.
That’s why they practice in a public place.
“People stop and ask us questions, like, ‘Y’all are half naked; what’s going on?’” Morrison says.
So far, none of the club’s members live in Oak Cliff, and none are Japanese.
“We’re looking to do some outreach because we’d really like to have Japanese members in the club,” he says.

Thank God, ya turkeys
Happy lives are thankful lives
“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for God is good; God’s steadfast love endures forever!” —1 Chronicles 16:34
The more we are thankful, the more we are thankful.
This simple phrase has become a mantra for my life. And as we approach Thanksgiving, I invite you to make it one of yours.
It’s been a terribly hard few years. Some of you reading this have no doubt lost loved ones to COVID. In our church, every week I hear the anguished grief of members, mourning the loss of unvaccinated family members or friends. The sense of survivor’s guilt is palpable.
And right in the midst of this time, we barrel straight toward Thanksgiving. It’s the only federal holiday that we in the Church can rightly say was ours first. Long before Lincoln made his decree about the day in November, people of faith have been giving thanks day by day.
Thanksgiving is a spiritual process. It’s a spiritual discipline. And the more we are thankful … the more we are thankful.
Brain science now confirms this truth. One of my favorite podcasts, The Happiness Lab, seems to focus on gratitude in almost every episode. Time and time again they remind their listeners that thanksgiving is a practice we can and must cultivate. And the more we lean-in to our gratitude, the happier we will be, even in our most challenging moments.
The more you practice the “practice of giving thanks,” the more things you find to be thankful for, and your thanksgiving will grow. That’s the way it works.
Especially for an idealist. If you yearn to change the world for the better, it’s very likely that you need to give thanks more often than you do. So, “put your own oxygen mask on first,” before you charge out to change the world.
Let’s be clear. I’m not suggesting that gorging on turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie is a secret road to happiness. (In fact, it can be a path to shame and sadness about food choices.)
I’m saying the original *point* of thanksgiving — naming, noticing and remembering the ways in which we are blessed — is deeply important to all human happiness. Science and faith teach us this.
As we look toward Thanksgiving, start the practice anew for this year. Commit to be thankful and grateful for the things you often forget. Like the blessing of a warm house in winter or being among the wealthiest folks on the planet.
You are, you know. If you are reading these words, you are among the wealthiest humans on the planet. Yes, life is hard. Yes, injustice is rampant. But if you want to fight injustice, start with a soul centered on Thanksgiving.
This season, I’m grateful for my family and friends. I’m grateful to the beautiful people of Kessler Park. I’m grateful for the breath that moves in and out of me. I’m grateful for long walks through Oak Cliff as leaves turn and fall. I’m grateful for the chance to be able to write you all of this right now.
Start with the simple things, as you start your journey back toward gratitude.
I love Anne Lamotte’s writings, and especially what she says about prayer.
One of her favorite prayers is simply: “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
That’s it. That’s the whole prayer.
So, in every small and great thing you can think of to be thankful for, whisper the prayer, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
It won’t make the mess of the world go away. But it just might help you cope with it.
The more we are thankful, the more we are thankful.
