Karatsu Sumo Club

Based in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, the Karatsu Sumo Club is a vibrant training program for children ranging from preschool age to junior high school. Through fundamental sumo practices like 'shiko' (leg stomping) and 'suri-ashi' (sliding steps), we help young athletes develop the core strength and flexibility essential during their growing years. Beyond physical technique, we are dedicated to character development rooted in the martial arts spirit of 'beginning and ending with a bow.' We emphasize the importance of greetings and etiquette, helping our students naturally acquire the habit of speaking clearly and treating others with respect.
