Jordan Burroughs’ is bringing Japan’s talent to America and is all geared up for the campaign. Japan’s 20-year-old Masanosuke Ono is going to be the special guest at the camp. It is scheduled to be held on December 29 at Sam Coursen Wrestling Center. Who can attend? It is open to everyone, with a minimal entry fee for members and non-members of the academy.

The campaign was announced through an Instagram post and urged interested ones to register themselves. The caption reads, “Wrestling Superstar Masanasuke Ono is coming to the USA and dropping into @alliseeisgoldacademy for a clinic!” Though anyone can attend it, it has a limitation—only 50 wrestlers per session. There will be two sessions for different age groups: one session will be for 8-13 years old, and another will be for 14+ years old. Registration fees: $75 for members and $100 for non-members. What impact will Ono’s visit have?

The answer lies in fostering a unique exchange of skills and culture, as wrestling powerhouses Japan and the USA prepare to learn from one another—especially with their performances at the Paris Olympics still fresh in the minds of fans worldwide. The 20-year-old is a freestyle wrestler who competes in the 61 kg weight category and has a knack for wrestling. This exchange initiated by Jordan Burroughs not only benefits the sport locally but also sets the stage for stronger global competition in the years to come.
