Have you ever wondered what it would be like to kick some rear as a 400+ pound Japanese sumo wrestler? Well, there’s no need to start a strict diet of Twinkies and deep fried bacon to achieve your dream, renting a sumo suit gives you that voluptuous rollie pollie body in seconds, on a temporary basis.

Why Sumo Wrestling?

Sumo wrestling is wildly popular because it is hilarious for watchers and participants. Everyone wants to witness two overly padded people roll around and try to knock each other out of a wrestling ring. This slapstick humor adds instant life and fun to any gathering of people.

Types of Sumo Wrestling Suits

Sumo suits come in two varieties, foam padded, or air inflated. Both kinds offer padded protection from injuries and pain as you knock your opponent around inside a padded wrestling ring.

The protective headgear also keeps you safe and adds to the hilarity of the sumo suits by imitating the long hair distinctive to Japanese sumo wrestlers. Not only do you look like you weigh 400 pounds in a sumo suit, but you can really get into character once you don the wig-covered helmet.

Most sumo suits also come with padded gloves to help avoid injuries during the wrestling match. This adds to the look by covering up normal sized hands with thickly padded, flesh-like gloves. The suits even come complete with an imitation diaper-like covering for modesty.

Considerations for Using Sumo Suits

Since most sumo suits are made of a vinyl type material, adding water to the games is a recipe for disaster. The suits should be kept away from water to help prevent injuries, falls, and chaffing.

Participants using the sumo suits will most likely need some help getting into and out of the suits. This means that more than two people should be present during the sumo match to help wrestlers get in and out of their suits. (The fire department frowns on being called out to pry a wrestler out of a stuck sumo wrestling sumo.)

All safety gear provided with the suits should be worn during play. This equipment is provided for the safety of participants and onlookers. Please read and follow all user guidelines provided by the manufacturer or rental company.

Sumo wrestling suits provide hours of riotous fun for adults and teenagers at nearly any type of gathering. Participants get to experience the sensation of sumo wrestling and outrageous physical combat from within the safety of layers upon layers of padding. Sumo suit wrestling is a guaranteed way to spice up your next special event.
