Shurikens were kind and polite to me, who was completely insecure and problematic. In the end, I didn't hit it, but I was able to fly it to the wall‼️ I also enjoyed the city mission in ninja uniform, so I recommend it!️
Love this!

Very fun experience. Even the basic course gives you practice with a sword (short and long), shuriken and a blowgun. I personally loved the blowgun the most. Every training ended in a "exam" where you had to hit a certain target. In the end you got a little certificate as a keepsake :>.
Ninja training awesome

We spontaneously went to the café and chose the try-out with Shuriken throwing and blowpipe shooting. It was an exciting experience. The staff was very friendly and explained everything to us very well. The highlight was the competition shooting with the blowpipe on balloons. Cost including drink about 10€ per person.

It was super fun (we threw the iron shuriken and shot arrows). There was then a small “competition” here. The care was very nice!
Nice surprise.

Honestly, it wasn't on our itinerary. But, due to the rains we had to suspend the planned excursion and booked here. The boy who attended us was very attentive and friendly. He explained several curiosities about movements with catanas, shuriken and cerbatana. The training was really fun.
Cool Nija techniques in practice.

It was very cool! The “teacher” was also very nice and explained everything great. We trained in the ninja garb with the sword, a throwing star and a blowpipe!
