Conditioning & Open Mat (1.5-Hour Drop-In)

To support our experienced learners, Sumo Sundays is excited to offer one-off drop-ins that combine conditioning exercises with skill-building and sparring in an open mat format. How this works:

• In the first part of this session, participants will follow a guided warm-up that includes shiko and suriashi games that challenge stamina, strength and cardio
• In the second part of the session, participants develop skills by working with other attendees; we recommend bringing questions, ideas and techniques you want to workshop (no formal lesson/instruction provided)

Battle rope and gi belts/mawashi are available for use. Sparring is welcome at the end of the session.

This session is good for:

• Casual or regular attendees of all sizes and genders who want to build on existing sparring skills and techniques for sumo

Experience required. Due to the open skills/sparring portion of these sessions, we ask that all participants attend with some sumo experience (i.e. attended a Sumo Sundays class or Tigers practice, participated in the basho/PSF tournament etc).
