Step into the World of the Samurai – A Unique Katana Experience
Discover the world of Bushido—the moral foundation of Japan—through the katana.
Begin by writing your name with a brush in the dojo to calm the mind and focus the spirit. Learn the differences between replica swords and real blades, as well as the types of practice swords used in samurai training. Discover the history of Japanese swords, including the tachi and uchigatana, while handling the swords yourself. Feel their weight, learn basic stances and swinging techniques, and practice controlled cuts. Finally, experience the tension of facing a sword and understand how distance and angle affect one’s sense of fear and awareness.

He has learnt the traditional martial art form Iaido that has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. You get the chance to immerse yourself in this masterful technique with expert guidance.
