Fantastic Kendo learning experience. Feel like a real samurai!! - Really great learning experience! They take loads of photos and video so you can just focus on the kendo. You get to learn some of the history and then go through all the basic stances and attacks. You even get to have a chance to do some sparring at the end. would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing Samuri experience - The experience was a lot of fun and the instructor was extremely helpful with any questions and very knowledgeable about kendo. We got to know the basics the different moves and after that we had matches against each other and the instructor even had a match against us himself which was a lot of fun.
