What could better than eating Sushi in DTLA? Eating Sushi while watching traditional Sumo Wrestlers at the Historical Mayan Theater, that’s what.

Beginning Wednesday, Nov 30th until Saturday, December 3rd, this action packed, seaweed wrapped event will be hosted by legendary Sumo Wrestler, Konishiki.

Meet Sumo legend, Konishiki. 

Born and raised in Hawaii, Konishiki is also the first non-Japanese-born wrestler to reach ōzeki – the second highest rank in Sumo. With a peak weight of 633 lbs, Konishiki is still the all-time heaviest wrestler in the history of the sport. 

Se Production’s special three-night event will feature a glimpse into the history of sumo, live matches and a Q&A portion where audience members will have the chance to interact with the fighters.

A select few guests will even ‘Get In The Ring!’ to take on the wrestler of their choice.
