Watching a real sumo training session was fascinating and felt very authentic — much more interesting than a typical tourist show.

Outstanding insight into this uniquely Japanese sport
A quite brilliant experience. This is the real-deal being the genuine morning routine in this sumo stable. The commentary by ear-piece was exceptionally informative about the techniques involved and the lifestyle - and didn't shy away from the health risks. It was interesting that size wasn't the be-all and end-all as the smallest wrestler was able to win most of his practice bouts
