    We had such a wonderful time with our instructor, Taiji, who was VERY patient with us. We learned a lot about Kendo, and tried our best to fight each other without laughing. We highly recommend this unique experience.

    We came to Japan determined to experience the culture. If this is your aim, this is the experience for you. We arrived at the venue, a huge beautiful dojo, not really knowing what to expect of our lesson. We quickly realised that we had Sensei Taiji to ourselves. I should make clear, we have no experience of Kendo, not even the basics. Getting dressed into the do-gi was an experience in itself. Taiji was encouraging and showed patience and humour when he taught us the sport's etiquette and then the basics movements. He is an excellent instructor, demonstrating and explaining clearly as we went along, whilst also making the experience fun and informative. After a little practice, he pitted us against each other, (great fun) and then challenged us individually. Like a pro boxer, he bobbed and weaved, showing true skill. He then demonstrated just how fast a true proficient is. This was a truly amazing and unforgettable experience, informative, energetic and above all, fun. Nothing was too much trouble. Once we had finished, having next to zero Japanese, Taiji booked us a taxi to a local ramen restaurant that he recommended. That was wonderful too. Thank you Taiji for an unforgettable afternoon.

    We had an amazing time! Very informative, a ton of fun and a must have experience! You don't need any special gear, and the dojo was a beautiful setting. As someone with experience teaching and martial arts, it was a well structured class.
