You can learn swordsmanship and archery from a master, and even hold an antique matchlock gun in your hands.

In this class, you can experience swordsmanship and archery.

The instructor is a master of swordsmanship and horseback archery, also called yabusame.

I am one of the very few masters in the world who has mastered both swordsmanship and horseback archery and continues to pass them down.

    I traveled from Tokyo Daiba, and it took me about 1.5 hours to reach the dojo, but it was absolutely worth it! I arrived early and was warmly welcomed by the master. I even had the chance to watch one of his students practicing, which added a special touch before starting. The duel experience with practice swords was very fun, especially when I had the chance to spar with the master himself. No where to run! 😂 He was kind, patient, and always willing to answer any questions. I’m not someone who usually does sports, and now in my 50s, I truly appreciated every moment of the different practices. 🙏 Thanks to Master Yoshioki Sumida for the great experience. Real dojo. Real experience. A true master. Highly recommended. Enjoy your trip in Japan! Orlando
