Tokyo｜Kendo / Tur de experiență Samurai SAMURAI TRIP

Great experience and very informative of the Kendo sport! So much fun! Be aware, it is a physical activity. So, be ready for the physical exertion.

I went with my brother and we were joined by 4 other groups for a total of around 13 people. I learned a lot about kendo and appreciated it even more after the 2 hour session. We had drills with senseis who are university athletes and also had a chance to spar with each other. If I had stayed in Tokyo I would have pursued kendo lessons! It’s truly a great introduction to kendo.

This was a great experience. My friend and I went from "knowing nothing" to immediately battling each other for rounds. The instructor was knowledgeable, and the dojo was nice. We looked good in the gear they provided us. My friend and I set up cameras to record some of the action. We did stretching, drills, and bouts. I highly recommend.

This experience was a blast. Our Kendo sensei and his students taught us a lot and made the 2 hour session very entertaining.

My son and I decided to take a kendo class on the last day of our trip to Japan as we had not practiced Kendo for a few years. We thought that an introductory class would be a good way to tip our toes back in before starting again in Australia. Nagamatsu-sensei was extremely proficient, professional and entertaining and very quickly was able to communicate the basics of Kendo to the other students who had never practised Kendo before. In the meantime he allowed my son and I to practice at a different level. Unfortunately, I had an unfortunate mishap at the end of the class (no fault of anyone else) which necessitated being sent off to a Japanese clinic. Sensei was extremely considerate and organised the Cab and gave instructions as to where to take us. A great experience nonetheless.

Great fun with a little bit of learning. I went with my two son's 17 and 15 and we loved it. We had no idea what to expect but our instructor kept us engaged and found ourselves enjoying every minute of it. I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to try something different.

It was an interesting and fun experience for our family, the sessions was not difficult (we are ages late forties to youngest ten years old) but quite in-depth on the kendo strokes and a little lesson on kendo history and concept We had great fun and exercise!! The instructors were very patient and add a lot of fun ;)

My son and I did this Kendo Samurai session and it was amazing. The sensei was great giving few historical explanations and teaching the basics. The exercises and sparring were super fun.

We loved Kendo experience. Although the instructor did not speak English, we were able to easily partake in the lesson. it was memorable and fun to do.

The Kendo Experience was exciting and energetic. The instructor was excellent, encouraging and funy. He always reminded us about the safety rules and he made sure that the equipment were properly worn. This was one of our GREAT experiences here in Tokyo.
