Want to try sumo?

We're always looking for more athletes to join us!

If you've never competed in sport before, have an extensive background in martial arts, or just want to venture into something new then why not give sumo a try?

It's a relatively simple sport as it has few rules, however the complexity of the number of ways to achieve victory gives athletes the complexity and challenges they are looking for. To be successful, sumo will call upon your strength, agility, and ability to master technique.

Let us help you achieve your goals no matter if they are to just learn a new sport, get in better shape, or to compete at local, national, or world levels!

All body shapes and sizes are welcome! Sumo is divided into three weight categories allowing all competitors to fight within their individual category and amongst the others within open or team competition. There is something for everyone!

All Athletes:

*Bring your mawashi if you have it.
