The whole experience awesome! It's a bit daunting to think what a katana is capable of! The hosts were very friendly and very explicit on how to wield the katama and how to swing. I felt safe the whole time, and it was an amazing feeling actually cutting the rolled up tatamis. I would definitely recommend the experience!

I arrived late because my driver didn’t know how to get to the location, but they were incredibly patient with me. As soon as I arrived, they welcomed me and immediately integrated me into the class. The master was exceptional—skilled, attentive, and very dedicated. I learned several techniques and a great deal about samurai culture. It was definitely an extraordinary experience from beginning to end. — Luis Castex

I had an absolutely fantastic experience during the kendo class. Master Kata was truly exceptional—patient, highly skilled, and deeply passionate about the art. The entire session was engaging and incredibly informative. I learned so much about Japanese culture and traditional martial arts, and I really appreciated how clearly everything was explained. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something authentic, meaningful, and unforgettable. Louis Castex

The Samurai sword cutting experience was exciting! I was so nervous at first but managed to do really well. The head instructor was very good at explaining step by step! His assistants were on point with helping us change into Samurai paraphernalia and taking pictures and videos to capture the experience for us all utilizing various participant phones. Very professional, interactive, great instructions! 10 out of 10!

My dad and son loved the experience! It was their highlight of the trip. We were also late for the experience but they were kind enough to wait for us and even looked for us outside to show us where they were located. Highly recommended!!!

What a unique great experience. They had such great service and they gave people umbrellas because it was storming at the end. Definitely Recommend.
