Fantastic time at the Samurai Experience - This was one of the most amazing and intense experiences I've had during my travels. I had a lesson with a 7th level (Den) kendo master, and it was so much fun. You learn about Kendo, it's traditions, practices and culture. You wear the actual gear and take part in training, which was great. Then you get to compete at the end, where you really have to focus and concentrate. I had a great time. Highly recommended.

Try it from the real ones - Fascinating experience, it gives you a glimpse of what the real sport is. There were a few real senior practitioners along a 7 dan master to complete the full picture.
