Our December 4th Sumo Tournament was a success!

On December 4th, MatchPoint NYC held our 1st Annual Sumo Tournament. 22 Kids ages 5-12 participated in the 2 hour event held in our Multi Sport room. Sumo is a Japanese form of heavyweight wrestling, in which a wrestler wins by  forcing his opponent outside a marked circle or by making him touch the ground with any part of his body except the soles of his feet. The parents were all really engaged in the event. Thank you everyone for coming and we hope to see you at our Sambo and Dzudo tournaments that are coming up in 2016.
