Our Authentic Sumo Experience has been produced by Netflix "Sanctuary" Sumo Director: Takeshi Amitani. With this experience, you can practice authentic sumo wrestling with real sumo wrestlers.
The experience is on a mat, not in a sumo ring. There is no need to wash the dirt off your feet afterwards, making it easy and quick.
Participation is open to everyone. We gladly embrace beginners, individuals of all genders, children, members of the LGBT+ community, Muslims, and many others.
