I'm putting it out there as a possible option. That was the whole point of my original post - consider going to practice and not an actual match.

The fact that the training/practice is less rigid and intense during tournament times may (perversely) make it an even better option for a family than would be usual.
Sure there are many Sumo Beya (相撲部屋) today and there are some Sumo Beya with no Rikishi (力士, Sumo wrestler) qualified for the tournament. Such Sumo Beya will have morning practice as usual during the tournament.

You are recommending OP to see B League Sumo wrestlers practice rather than go see actual tournament of A League Sumo wrestlers. You think Sumo is too much for 10 and 12 years old? There is no problem for 10 years old to see Monday Night Raw or MMA Fight, but Sumo is too much for 10 years old?
