Note that training uses a battle rope instead of the traditional dohyo — if you have your own mawashi or gi belt\, we recommend bringing it to class. \nThis session is good for: \n\nCasual or regular Sumo Sundays attendees who want to build on existing sparring skills and techniques for competition\nFirst-time attendees with relevant backgrounds (i.e. BJJ competitors\, football players\, wrestlers or martial artists) interested in improving takedown and grappling techniques and those generally interested in grappling (no experience required)\n\nWe encourage folks of all sizes and genders to participate. \n*Note: Due to the condensed timing of this session\, skills + knowledge shared in our longer\, 2.5-hour sessions may be skipped or glossed over. This includes basic sumo terminology + rules and safety techniques. For more immersive sessions\, take a look at the 2.5-hour fundamentals + intermediate options. \nSchedule & Location\n\nFridays from 7:30-8:30 pm and Sundays from 4-5 pm (for current dates\, visit Eventbrite)\nIndoors at the Vancouver Japanese Language School & Hall (487 Alexander St)\n\nAbout the Instructor\nHugo Mansfield is a filmmaker\, writer\, amateur sumo wrestler and martial arts enthusiast. He started training on the beach with friends\, and their small club slowly grew into a formidable sumo team now called Vancouver Sumo Tigers. A regular participant of Sumo Sundays since 2022\, Hugo has competed at the annual Powell Street Festival and the 2024 basho. Since the fall of 2024\, he has provided technique-based instruction for Sumo Sundays’ intermediate drop-in.

All bodies welcome.[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”836389″]Join us for this monthly afternoon of sumo training! Our drop-in sessions aim to build confidence and safety around this popular Japanese sport. Every session incorporates stretches\, techniques based on each participant’s skill level and an opportunity to spar. \nThis session is good for: \n\nPeople trying sumo for the first time\nPeople with minimal experience in martial arts and/or other physical activities\nCasual and regular attendees of Sumo Sundays looking for a chilled experience focusing on basics and refreshers on safety rolls\, techniques\, use of equipment etc.\n\nWe encourage folks of all sizes and genders to participate. Priced at $15-22 (+ fees) on a sliding scale. Max. 14 people per session. \nLooking for a faster-paced session? We offer intermediate sessions. \nThis session is led by Mielle Michaux (she/her) and Kayla Isomura (they/them). \nMielle is an avid sumo fan who has been participating in Sumo Sundays since 2022. Her other martial arts experience includes sambo wrestling and judo. She is passionate about making martial arts spaces welcoming to everyone\, and loves being a part of such an inclusive sumo community! \nSince 2022\, Kayla has co-organized countless sumo drop-ins\, workshops and a handful of tournaments through Sumo Sundays\, including the annual sumo exhibition at Powell Street Festival (PSF). A mixed fourth-generation Japanese Canadian\, Kayla’s introduction to sumo has always been through PSF\, whether watching it as a kid (one of their favourite events) or trying it for the first time in 2015. Kayla has continued to participate in sumo at PSF and in 2022\, earned the big bag of rice\, which they credit to previous workshops organized by the festival and impromptu training by Shane Pecknold in a local park. Through these experiences\, Kayla’s goal is to make an inclusive and accessible space for sumo in Vancouver.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

She is passionate about making martial arts spaces welcoming to everyone\, and loves being a part of such an inclusive sumo community! \nSince 2022\, Kayla has co-organized countless sumo drop-ins\, workshops and a handful of tournaments through Sumo Sundays\, including the annual sumo exhibition at Powell Street Festival (PSF). A mixed fourth-generation Japanese Canadian\, Kayla’s introduction to sumo has always been through PSF\, whether watching it as a kid (one of their favourite events) or trying it for the first time in 2015. Kayla has continued to participate in sumo at PSF and in 2022\, earned the big bag of rice\, which they credit to previous workshops organized by the festival and impromptu training by Shane Pecknold in a local park. Through these experiences\, Kayla’s goal is to make an inclusive and accessible space for sumo in Vancouver.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Participants will learn VST’s approach to sumo through safe sparring games and friendly competitions to enhance stance\, upper body control\, balance\, footwork and more. \nThis is a condensed* drop-in for those interested in quicker and/or more regular sessions. Note that training uses a battle rope instead of the traditional dohyo — if you have your own mawashi or gi belt\, we recommend bringing it to class. \nThis session is good for: \n\nCasual or regular Sumo Sundays attendees who want to build on existing sparring skills and techniques for competition\nFirst-time attendees with relevant backgrounds (i.e. BJJ competitors\, football players\, wrestlers or martial artists) interested in improving takedown and grappling techniques and those generally interested in grappling (no experience required)\n\nWe encourage folks of all sizes and genders to participate. \n*Note: Due to the condensed timing of this session\, skills + knowledge shared in our longer\, 2.5-hour sessions may be skipped or glossed over. This includes basic sumo terminology + rules and safety techniques. For more immersive sessions\, take a look at the 2.5-hour fundamentals + intermediate options. \nSchedule & Location\n\nFridays from 7:30-8:30 pm and Sundays from 4-5 pm (for current dates\, visit Eventbrite)\nIndoors at the Vancouver Japanese Language School & Hall (487 Alexander St)\n\nAbout the Instructor\nHugo Mansfield is a filmmaker\, writer\, amateur sumo wrestler and martial arts enthusiast. He started training on the beach with friends\, and their small club slowly grew into a formidable sumo team now called Vancouver Sumo Tigers. A regular participant of Sumo Sundays since 2022\, Hugo has competed at the annual Powell Street Festival and the 2024 basho. Since the fall of 2024\, he has provided technique-based instruction for Sumo Sundays’ intermediate drop-in.
