A fun birthday surprise - I booked the class for my boyfriend's birthday as a surprise and it was definitely the right choice! The instructors were very nice and knew a lot about ninjas and their history. Also, they offered to take pictures and videos for us which was great.

Kyoto bucket list! - Literally one of the best MUST do things in Kyoto. If you’re planning for a whole day in Kyoto and you want to do a few things within the area, hit up this spot before going to a pig cafe or museum or nishiki market. Had the 10am session, my mom and I will never forget the incredible experience. Super interactive, fun, knowledgeable instructors with a lot of patience!

Cannot recommend enough - Cannot recommend enough. A highlight of our trip to Japan. Great for anyone interested in ninjas and martial arts, very authentic and the instructors are excellent while infusing the class with authentic knowledge about the history of ninjas (shinobi). We had Sho and he was terrific

Amazingly Fun 2-hr ninja session - Really fun session with the family, we did the 2 hour session after having done a more basic Ninja course with another setup in Tokyo. On top the basic shurikens, blowguns and sword techniques, there were more interesting elements in the 2 hour course. First of course was the costume, and more advanced/serious skills like walking silently, ninja signs etc. Especially interesting for me was learning the Kusarigama. (Sickle + Chain) Also appreciated the value-add in them taking photos and videos with their own camera and sending it to us after the session. Highly recommended, especially with young kids interested in Ninjas!

Fun immersive experience! - Did a two hour experience, had an amazing time!! Got to try out so many different ninja weapons as well as learn about the traditional meditations. Highly recommend if you want an immersive experience. It was also a lot of fun fully dressing up, and the instructor also took wonderful photos. They also have many different historical weapons available for purchase as souvenirs. It was great doing the experience as a solo traveler as well.

Fab ninja fun - We had a great 2 hour lesson with Sho and both adults and a 9 year old boy really enjoyed the session and thought it was one of the trip highlights. Sho was great fun and really packed a lot into the 2 hours, was great that it was a small class so had lots of opportunities to try techniques. Loved that we were sent photos and videos afterwards.

Really fun - I went with a friend and we had so much fun learning about ninja techniques and trying out weapons. Jack is a really good teacher, and they also take cool pictures and videos and send them to you for free. You can also buy the weapons and other ninja tools. Totally recommend!!

Ninja sensation - They were absolutely amazing. Start with a historical contextualization, briefly go through the ninja symbols and meditation and then we can try various ninja weapons. Ninja Master was very expressive and explained everything very well. In group with friends was spectacular
