*scratches her head* Oh dear, Sanitizer, you sure are confusing me.  Here I am trying to find you a Sumo Wrestling class here in Jersey and then *Poof!* I come back to find you many pounds thinner and toned.  *sighs*  Well, if by chance you are still interested.....\n\nhttp://www.cranfordjkc.com/Sumo.htm

Honor is too big of a concept in Japanese culture for them to fix sumo wrestling matches. \n\nThey are no more fixed than any other sporting event...

If you want authentic ninjutsu, it would be Iga ninjutsu. There are 3 schools: \n\n1.) Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Masaaki Hatsumi) \n2.) Genbukan Ninpo Bugei (Shoto Tenemura)\n3.) Jinenkan (Fumio Manaka)\n\n1.) Link for Bujinkan Schools in the U.S.A: http://www.winjutsu.com/winlinks.html \n\n2.) Link for Genbukan http://www.genbukan.org/cgi-bin/site.pl (there should be a dojo locator on there)\n\n3.) Link for Jinenkan Locations: http://www.jinenkan.com/locations.htm\n\nA.)One Bujinkan school in Boise: http://www.boisebujinkan.com/\n\nB.)One Genbukan school in Coeur d'Alene: http://www.genbukan.org/cgi-bin/site.pl?1712&cxDatabase_databaseID=1&id=20\n\nC.)Zero Jinenkan schools.

Yes. College boxing still exists in the good ole US of A. For info on it, go to any college website to see if the college of your choice offers/ has a boxing team/program. Another option would be to go to the NCAA website and check there. The website name  is NCAAsports.com. I know for fact that some schools offer boxing, I've watched it on CSTV (College Sports TV on my satellite TV network <DISH>)

Depending on where you live most high school wreslting teams are pretty easy to get on. Wrestling is determined by a point system. For instance if you have an escape or a reversal etc you get points. Every year ESPN show the collegiate national championships. They are coming up March 11th and 13th. In my high school we had wreslting as a gym class. It was awesome and most of the people on the wrestling team got on right there. Just go to the front office and ask who the wrestling coach is, then go speak with them. It doesn't matter that you don't have any experience. Wrestling is an awesome sport and one of the oldest. Lot of history and it is so much more fun than football.

Try other wrestling organizations like Extreme Championship Wrestling or TNA/National Wrestling Association.  They have other info about other well-known wrestlers around USA & the world.

Look into Johnny Rodz school of wrestling in Brooklyn, NY as your closest opportunity and most reputable.  The "unpredictable" Johnny Rodz has trained Tazz, Devon Dudley, Tommy Dreamer and many more.  Next, I would look into Afa's Wild Samoan school in Sciota, PA. It's only an hour away from New York City. Also, Afa has a reputable name. He's trained Billy Kidman and Batista as well, who both made it.  There is also a school in Massachusetts called Chaotic.  It merged with Killer Kowalski's school of wrestling.  There are a few wrestlers from there currently wrestling in the WWE developmental league.  \n   Also, let me tell you, it is hard getting into this business.  I myself trained.  They were glad to take my money (I did not train in any of the above schools.  The one's I mentioned are reputable, especially the first two).  I ended up getting hurt because of the guy I was wrestling.  I don't know how contracts are structured today, but in the beginning....there is no contract if you are hurt.  Your not making the company money, so they are not going to pay you for nothing.  I'm not trying to discourage you, but just wanted to give you a few tidbits.  Best of luck to you!

Not offhand, but look for indy wrestlers playing up a foreign gimmick such as Japanese or Samoan. Japanese and Samoan wrestlers sometimes wrestle barefoot or in partial foot coverings (such as Jinsei Shinzaki aka Hakushi and Yokozuna) - that would be your best bet, anyway. There are tons of indy feds out there; hopefully I've narrowed your search a bit.

Japan has the most authentic and realistic wrestling in the world..\n\nI am here in the United States and id have to say that wrestling here is pure entertainment\n\nmany japanese wrestlers have gone on to fight in mixed martial arts (pridefc, UFC, Rings) with great success.. some have accepted challenges in sumo matches and even fights with world champion boxers (ie Muhammad Ali once went to a match against a japanese wrestler)...

Yes, there are programs in the US.  However, it is loan reimbursement.  I know that Harvard does do this, so I know other law schools will do this as well.

It really depends on the school, he should be able to work with his wrestling coach.  I'm actually surprised you didn't try that first, did the coach say anything particular about it?
