This is an excellent chance for visitors to get a firsthand look into the world of the samurai. Get a glimpse into the philosophies of Bushido, the way of the warrior, through wielding a real katana and Zen meditation, used by the samurai to calm their minds during battle.

After a real sword demonstration by your Master, you will be instructed on the proper grip, posture, and form, using wooden practice swords, then move to the cut of a goza mat target with a real Samurai sword “Shinden”. At the end, a zen meditation session will wrap up the course and calm down your mind as the warriors of the past where used to do after fighting on the battlefield.
