"It's that time of year again, when the resonating THUD of huge men in 'mawashis' signals the arrival of spring," said USA Sumo's Matt Anderson.

The fourth annual U.S. Sumo Open will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center April 9.

"For hundreds of years, the strongest men/samurai from rival villages would decide battles based on their performance inside the dojo," Anderson said, adding that this year, teams representing Norway, Germany, Mongolia, Bulgaria will be competing with the best in the United States.
