They've got a food and crafts fair going at the Japan Hall this weekend from 9am-2pm on Saturday April 26.

Then Sunday April 27 they are doing a drop in sumo training day. https://sumosundays.ca/register/ My body is in no shape for that though. Too sore right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tochinofuji 390 Posted April 25 Vancouver here too. I can say I've trained with the club once previously, and they are an absolutely fantastic group. I highly recommend getting out for one of their Sumo Sundays or to their upcoming basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vancouver BC Sumo Fan 14 Posted April 27 That's great to hear, Tochinofuji. My body is held together with tape and glue at the moment so I don't think I'll be jumping in a sumo ring soon, but I will not miss watching the next basho for anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itachi 396 Posted May 8 I'm also in Vancouver - well, Langley, but that's in Greater Vancouver. Would be fun to check out some sumo training and/or meet up with other sumo fans! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
