HONU Sumo Club and Maximum Effort Foundation dedicate each SoCal Sumo Open to San Diego’s Japanese community of the past, present and future. We honor the Japanese community across all timelines for continuing to share sumo, judo, kendo and other sports from Japan with our community and the world, for their resiliency and love as they still practiced sumo, even while being incarcerated, in internment camps and after being released, with threat of imprisonment due to racism, and for continuing to be in solidarity with oppressed people everywhere.
