Mighty Eagle Sumo is a sumo club & sports team. Sumo is a passion. One that takes a lot of hard work and dedication. As an amateur sumo club out of San Antonio. Our goal is to make Texas the go-to state for American Sumo. We are looking for people to join us and learn the ancient martial art. Help us stay moves ahead of the game.
Meet the TEAM
Sensei Tom Zabel
Sensei, teacher, coach, or just plain Tom.
He has a goofy sense of humor. He is the nicest guy you would ever want to know. But more than that, it was Tom that brought all of us to sumo. He is the reason that we have sumo in San Antonio. All of us in Mighty Eagle are eternally grateful.
4th Degree Black Belt
Jessica Hopper
Senpai
That is what we call her. She is our leader, she's our spirit. She is the 1st & right now the only Female sumo black belt in the U.S.
But She is more than that to all of us. She is the heart & soul of our team.
3rd Black Belt
Caleb Baccus
Caleb found sumo later than he'd like but that's not stopping him! He's at every practice and tournament and always gives it his all. His matches always have the crowd on the edge of their seats. Caleb works hard in the dohjo and behind the scenes, bringing you both great sumo boughts and content!
2nd Black Belt
David Murray
You can hear the yell when his name is called, "MuurrRrMAaaaNnnnn!" And you know who's walking to the mat. Wrestling on a bad toe and not having a real sumo match since Nationals in March, David Murray shock everyone at the Consulate’s Cup by winning match after match until he took home Silver in Middleweight.
To us, he's a superhero. And his call sign is "Murman!!"
Green Belt
Meet the TEAM
Jay Scriven
Jay is living his best life. Shortly after joining sumo he burst on the competitive scene gaining Texas State Camp ‘24 and National Heavyweight Champ ‘24. He was on Team USA competing in Poland in 2024. He blows away his competors with his style of getting very low and hopping his opponents out. He is known for his hard tachiai and cool calm in the dohyo.
Blue Belt
Victor Perez
Fighting hard no matter what is a great way to describe Victor. Regardless what is happing he shows up and fights. Victor has had a big transformation since he has began. Stamina, strength, and flexibility keep getting better. So does his sumo.
Yellow Belt
Dominus
Passion, determination, & heart. These are the words that encapsulate Dom. He doesn't gets knocked down often. He possesses the heart of a champion. And showed at Nationals that he did by getting gold in Open weight. Can’t wait to see what he does next.
White Belt
