Sumo Wrestling Setup

Setting Up:

 

The only setup required is assembling the mat.  Each mat consists of (3) sections.  Unroll each section and identify the middle section.  Line up each of the outside sections to the middle section and fasten together with the velcro that is sewn onto the ends.  A properly assembled mat will have your LOGO in the middle and your TOLL FREE # on the outer ring.

 

IMPORTANT:  On all sides of the mat, allow at least 10 feet of clearance from walls, tables, structural support poles, and all other objects that could cause injury should a player be knocked off the mat during play.

 

Suiting Up and Getting Out

 

Players must remove their shoes.

 

Getting into and out of the Suit requires the attendants’ help.  First, lay the suit belly-down onto the mat and open up the back of the suit by pulling the velcro-fastened flaps apart.

The participant will then squirm into the suit feet-first while the attendant(s) hold open the back of the suit.  Once the participant’s legs are into the suit, he will then put his arms into the suit- one at a time.   Once fully inside, the attendants close the back of the suit and gently help the participant to his feet by lifting under his arms.    Once on his feet, the attendants need to place the helmet onto the player’s head and fasten the chinstrap.  Finally, make sure to fit the player’s with the mittens.

 

Getting out of the suits is done in just the opposite order.
