If your aim is solely cosplay, this experience may not be suitable for you. This is a place where Samurai hone their Mind and Skills, rooted in the power of Bushido. In just two hours, you will embark on your first genuine journey as a samurai.
Kendo, which translates to “the way of the sword” in Japanese, originated as the samurai’s training method for sword combat, involving armor and bamboo swords. In the samurai’s world, where a mere blink could lead to death, even the slightest mental distraction was perilous, necessitating mental training as well.
Participants will start with an introduction to kendo’s history, philosophy, and rules. They will learn proper etiquette and then train in the three essential elements of kendo: spirit, sword, and body in harmony. Practice striking techniques, engage in real sparring matches, and observe the instructor’s expertise in an authentic kendo bout.
This experience is designed for those who genuinely aspire to take their first step toward becoming a samurai. Each step into this dojo is a step into the path of the warrior. Awaken your Strength in Bushido.
