Dive into the exciting world of sumo, a famous Japanese wrestling sport that has been held since ancient times, in the lively neighbourhood of Asakusa in Tokyo. Firstly, you will learn what it feels like to prepare for sumo match, helped along by an English-speaking compere who will talk you through the rules of the game and special techniques they use to beat their opponent during an actual fight.
