It was a great experience and very, very nice.
One of the highlights of our trip! Top notch experience for the whole family: we had 20 year olds up to retirees and everyone in our group had a terrific experience and learned a lot! This is done in an actual DOJO and the teachers are excellent - plus so much fun!!!
This is absolutely not a touristy gimmick — it’s the real deal. You train in a true dojo with a real Sensei and his team, and the small group size makes the whole experience feel personal and immersive. They provide all the clothing and equipment, and learning the history while practicing the movements was genuinely fascinating. Yoshino and Jordan were fantastic instructors, making everything engaging, hands‑on, and memorable. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a truly authentic samurai experience.
It was very fun, and we enjoyed it a lot. A real dojo, a unique experience.
What a wonderful experience with Yoshino, Jordan and Ken!! Real life dojo with trained samurai professionals, but also great family fun.🤩
