I have always wanted to fight and train like a samurai. My dream just came true! The activity was both informative and extremely fun! Our Sensai spoke great English, was super patient, helpful and very funny. I also really liked that it wasn’t just training, but also acting and doing cool things for the sake of it. It made it all feel exciting and interesting instead of just dry. And the guides and Sensai brought so much energy and passion into it that it was hard not to get swept up in the experience If you want to train like a samurai, then j highly recommend this place. I’d say there’s a good change they earned the title of being the best
