Defeat the Oni! Experience of a lifetime! - Myself and my partner had a wonderful time. This was a gift for my birthday and I learnt so much about samurai tradition and spirit. We learnt both offensive and defensive techniques and put them all together to defeat the oni. I’ll recommend to all my friends who are coming to Japan!
