Safety Training

Sumo is a lot of fun, but it's a full contact sport and carries inherent risks. We take safety seriously.

Many of our members have completed safety training through the following organizations, and at least one is present at every practice.

SafeSport

The U.S. Center for SafeSport works to end abuse in sport and trains people to recognize and report misconduct.
