What a great experience. We each learned how to handle katana and then got to cut tatami mats multiple times each. Mark was very reassuring, as we were nervous, and taught us the techniques quickly and accurately. I also appreciated that this was a 30-45 minute experience, just the right amount to learn and try. Highly recommend.
Excellent
