Sumo Hopeful

Konishiki, I 17 years old, and I have been interested in Sumo for about a year.  I understand you have to be invited by the Sumo Association to have the privelage to wrestle.  I am 5'10, and weigh 330+ pounds.  I can bench press 265 pounds and dead lift 315 pounds, leg press 735 pounds.  I know the basics of Sumo and still I am trying to learn more about it.  How did you get invited into wrestling in Japan?  
                                       Sincerely, 
                                                     M. Peru
