I agree. fast lens, high iso and use aperture mode.
Since the lighting conditions won't vary a lot, take a good light reading off a grey card or use an external light meter as I do. Then fix your settings and shoot away. With all the black hakama and gi, the camera will have a tendency to overexpose and thus demanding even slower shutter speeds.

That's how you get shots like this and yes... also like this.

If your cam supports RAW shooting, you can also try to deliberately underexpose by say.. 1 stop and then correct in your RAW converter. And be shure to adjust the white balance.
