It was a pleasure to spend 90 minutes being taught basic Katana sword strokes, learning about the history of this family and understanding how these weapons and culture works. The experience involves a level of respect and focus but is worth every minute. I would happily go back there and be taught for hours!Dragonfishdeluxe

It was a really great 90 min private lesson, I enjoyed it very much! There was a guy who was giving the training and a lady, who told me about the history of their clan and then interpreted the training. I put on the traditional clothes, was first taught how to bow, the lady explained me the history of the weapons, then I was taught to use a short sword, a long sword (katana), and then to throw some needle-looking weapon. They both were extremely nice and knowledgeable. And wearing the clothes and having the training in a real dojo creates an awesome atmosphere. I also got a lot of pictures and videos made by the lady while I was working with the trainer. I really recommed it!
