Learn the Art of Kendo - Fantastic experience with Taiji Sensei! Although his English is limited, his directions were very clear. I really enjoyed this experience and would do it again!

Truly amazing experience! - I highly recommend this session! This was a proper training for the beginers. I enjoyed learning basic moves and rules of kendo. My sensei was Taiji, very dedicated kendo practitioner with more then 20 years of experience. It was amazing to learn from him! Thank you!

Fun and exciting activity, instructor was very kind! - My cousin and I attended the class together on a weekend. The instructor we had was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and fun. We learned the basic rules, customs, and moves involved in kendo. There were no additional fees involved I'm the activity. It lasted approximately 2 hours. Besides my group, nobody else was at the court where the practice happened. The location was wonderful as well, as right outside was a beautiful park.

Must try - It's kind of a "dreams come true" experience as we grew up with the comic talking about Kendo from Japan. If you are interested in sports in general or eagerly exploring surprise in the life, you should come and try!!!

Great experience! Very educational and authentic. Highly recommended! - We had the great pleasure of participating in an unforgettable samurai experience with a real Kendo master. Kenshi introduced us to the world of Kendo – a cultural and historical treasure of Japanese history – with great commitment, respect, patience and exemplary manners.
From the basics to a real practice fight, he accompanied us step by step. It was not only educational, but also incredibly exciting and inspiring. His way of teaching was particularly impressive – always mindful, respectful and motivating.
Finally, Kenshi gave us plenty of personal tips for sightseeing and dining in Okinawa, which completed the experience perfectly.
Overall, it was a unique and profound experience – highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Japanese culture in an authentic way.
