Sumo School Experience with Stable Master and Real Wrestlers
Duration
1 hour 45 minutes
Overview
-
Did you know that there is a sumo school on the Ryogoku Kokugikan sumo stadium grounds in Tokyo? The sumo school is a facility that teaches and educates newcomer rikishi, or sumo wrestlers, helping them learn the basics of sumo and develop the physical and mental strength needed for training in a sumo stable.
While Grand Sumo Tournaments are only held in odd-numbered months of the year, sumo wrestlers practice daily at their stables and even sometimes travel around Japan on tour.
The sumo school which is normally only accessible by the new wrestlers and those teaching them, will be specially opened to the public for this one-time opportunity.
You will have the chance to learn all about the history of sumo, daily life of the wrestlers at the school, and much more from an established and honorable Oyakata(sumo stable master) and other wrestlers right in the rooms where the wrestlers study daily. And you will even get to witness a demonstration from currently active sumo wrestlers!
