Uncover Kendo's rich history: Learn about brief Kendo history, Reiho, refined behaviours for Kendo, and the Bushido Spirit. Kendo Experience (Kendo striking practice): Wear Dogi/Hakama (Kendo uniform) and Kendo protective armours such as Men (Kendo mask), Kote (arm protectors), Do (torso protector), and Tare (leg protector). Use Shinai (bamboo sword) to strike each other. Strike and compete based on the match format. Due to the difficulty of experiencing Kendo, changing clothes and taking pictures will be the main activities for children aged between three and five years old.

Very professional and friendly insight into the world off the samurai which was fascinating in terms of history given and the amazing experiences of kendo - we actually get dressed as kendo fighters and are trained very well. We get to practice the fighting techniques and spar with other participants and the master!! They allowed us to take video and took video for us as well so you can relive the experience! I loved it - really amazing experience!
