Experience authentic sumo training in an actual sumo ring, wearing a mawashi, which means sumo belt. This is one of the unique experiences in Tokyo!

What is sumo… Sumo is Japanese martial art wrestling. If you've ever done kettlebell sumo squats or sumo deadlifts, you have likely heard the term “sumo” in your gym. Sumo is Japan's national sport and a traditional martial art with a history spanning over 1,000 years. In this sport, two fighters compete within a circular ring called a “dohyo.” While it may appear very simple at first glance, it is an incredibly profound and intricate discipline.

No experience needed! Everyone is welcome! No problem wearing clothes if you prefer!
