5.00Amazing experience with a great husband and wife team. You get a quick run-through of samurai history and then you’ll get fully suited up for a hands on lesson. It’s a good workout as you progress through strikes, combinations, and counters with the footwork to match. After the lesson you’re welcomed to challenge the sensei, I highly recommend asking for a full speed match to appreciate his skill. Afterwards the hosts were kind enough to share some snacks and recommendations for our remaining time in Japan.
Amazing Cultural Experience. Highly Recommended! Friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced teacher. I had a great time.

5.00As a solo traveler, I was a little nervous heading into the day, and when I showed up I was the only person for the experience for the day-and I had a wonderful time with one-on-one instruction. They presented the historical context and stories which led to this before instructing me the Kendo moves. After dressing me in proper Kendo attire, we had an amazing photoshoot and then they taught me step by step moves before finally having us go head to head in a battle. The instructors were amazing, helpful, kind, and friendly and they recorded most of the session and sent the videos and photos to me for free afterwards. I had an anazing time and highly recommend this to anyone wishing to have a genuine cultural experience to immerse yourself in a traditional Japanese exchange.
A Personal Kendo Experience
