Sumo Experience
We host fully themed Sumo Suit wrestling parties and team building sessions. Our specialty is a tongue in cheek caricature of the authentic Japanese sumo wrestling for both adults and children. From our base in Woking we will bring the party to you, and to a venue of your choice, be that local hall, back garden or boardroom.

We cover London, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Sussex, Middlesex, Hertforshire, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, Essex & Kent - in fact the whole of South East England. You get what you'd expect, plus some more besides.
Services
Until 2006, Martin had worked in IT but had also continually worked in areas of entertainment in his spare time. He has been a youth worker, children's worker, and church leader. Thirteen years as lead singer/songwriter and front man of rock band Salt Solution gave him his nose for fun, spontaneity and the ability to manage and communicate with an audience.
Sumo Experience is perfect for children's parties, either in your own garden, or in a hall or other venue that you've hired for your party. Of course if you have an outrageously big room in your house with 22 feet by 22 feet of floor space, and big enough for the 12 x 12 crash mat and required overspill space, then you can even host the competitive cauldron in your own home!
We think that what our customers have said about our specialist sumo parties is nothing short of breathtaking - and have rave reviews from well over 200 customers! There are so many in fact that we have collected their reviews and ratings and filtered them into party types so you can focus on event simualar to the one you are planning.
Some of our customers have been kind enough to share their own snaps of the parties that we have run for them. You can see them all here. We have never sought the publicity, but the unique events that Sumo Experience offers has drawn the interest of TV, radio, newspapers and magazines. See the extracts here.
Sumo wrestling is too much fun to leave to the kids. That's why Sumo Experience has a pair of adult sized sumo suits set aside for proper grown-up fun. After all, true Sumo is an adult endeavour. Sumo Experience is the perfect way to break the ice and really get any stag do or hen party under way. With a weekend away being so popular, Sumo Experience can travel to where you are based.

We had a great time at my son's 10th birthday sumo party. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and it was great fun for parents to watch too. Martin was very good at keeping the boys attention and keeping them entertained for the whole 90 mins. He was an excellent host! I would highly recommend a sumo party and may well book again for my older son in the summer.

I booked Sumo Experience for my sister's hen party and it was honestly one of the highlights of the weekend. Martin was fantastic and really made the experience so funny, but we also felt that we were in very safe hands. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is considering a fun activity that is a little different!

This was a fabulous party for my 10 yr old and his friends. They loved it from start to end. Martin was amazing at balancing great fun with safety and had the kids attention all the way through. The kids loved every part of it, dressing up, cheering their teams, throwing the salt and especially jumping on their opponents! Brilliant party.

Last week Martin ran a brilliant Sumo party for my son's 10th birthday party. Was so great to be able stand back and let him "do his thing" and he handled the boys with ease. I think as spectators we had nearly as much fun as the children! So lovely to see them all having such fun and supporting each other. Hilarious and definitely a party that we'll all remember. Thank you!

I would highly recommend this Sumo experience, we booked Martin for a huge family event for our families, all who had a child with a disability. Martin did a great job at making the experience enjoyable for the participants and crowd, he was 'in character' the whole time and which really made it a hilarious experience. Hugely enjoyed by both the children and adults!

Our Sumo party for a group of mostly 11 year old boys was a great success. Martin succeeded in letting the kids be boisterous but never out of control, all while keeping them thoroughly entertained. It was a lot of fun for the adults too, it's a great spectator sport. Everybody went home smiling.

My son just had his 10th party with Martin from Sumo experience, it was absolutely fantastic. Martin arrives and takes over with all the kids and you sit and watch for 90 minutes, no stress .
Brilliant fun and different party.

This is our second party with Martin - this time for our second son, aged 10. I have been looking forward to it for nearly 4 years since the last one! Martin is a great entertainer, and his parties are hugely fun for both participants and observers! He even makes the safety briefing enjoyable! Both our boys and their friends absolutely loved their sumo parties and they are much talking about at school. Sides are picked impartially and any discrepancies can be rebalanced so every participant has great fun. The suits are so large that there is vast amounts of padding, and the boys were literally
