    We debated between this and going to practice at the Sumo stables and I’m so glad we chose this. You get up close and personal with plenty of opportunities to get into the ring yourself. We learned so much about Sumo and were pleasantly surprised by how good the lunch was, including the traditional Sumo wrestler’s soup.

  • Great experience
