Script

00:07 – Sumo is a national sport of Japan
00:10 and one of the most loved parts of its culture.
00:13 Today, we are going to immerse ourselves
00:15 in all things sumo,
00:17 complete with a hot-pot lunch.
00:25 Everything’s set up.
00:26 We’re gonna see a sumo wrestler demonstration,
00:30 so let’s take our seats.
00:33 – Everybody welcome, welcome to sumo demonstration!
00:40 – This is so great so,
00:42 they’re showing us how they stretch and practice.
00:45 We’re seeing some of the different moves
00:47 that you can use in sumo, and the things
00:50 that you can’t do in sumo.
00:53 They’re battling it out.
00:54 It’s a lot of work to be a sumo wrestler.
01:01 So after you learn all about sumo and the rules,
01:02 and how they fight, you actually get to challenge
01:04 the sumo wrestler.
01:09 It’s good fun.
01:09 The sumo wrestler is hardly going to have to try.
01:11 We’re so weak compared to them,
01:13 but I think I should give it a try.
01:16 Wish me luck.
01:28 – Well my favorite part was that I got to
01:30 wrestle a sumo wrestler, and it was super fun.
01:33 – I don’t think we’ll ever forget it.
01:34 – [Woman] It’s an amazing experience,
01:35 I’d highly recommend it to everybody.
01:37 – [Speaker] Today’s lunch is deep fried pork.
01:41 – Mmm, delicious.
01:43 Included in the experience is a nice lunch.
01:48 You can also order some saki, if you like.
01:51 Kampai.
01:54 This was such a fantastic way to learn about the life
01:58 of a sumo wrestler.
01:59 We got to watch them wrestle, then got to go head-to-head
02:02 with a sumo wrestler ourselves.
02:04 This was a truly hands on way to experience
02:07 this legendary Japanese sport.
