Really great fun - you get a mix of seeing training styles and some bouts at the end too. Audience members can go in a ballot to participate. The snack bag was a good souvenir.

A great family experience, enjoyed by parents and teenagers. Funny and very informative. The Hotpot was delicious. I would definitely recommend the VIP tickets, we sat right next to the ring in very comfortable chairs and have great photos of us and the Sumo wrestlers.
