• 5A Great Samurai Experience

  My daughter and I had such a wonderful experience learning Kendo from Taiji. He was very patient teaching us foundational techniques. I wish I could’ve had more lessons.

• 5Exhilarating Kendo Experience

  I was intrigued to experience a Kendo session. I’ve had martial arts exposure and while on my trip to Okinawa, wanted a small group instruction. My instructor, Taiji, was excellent in bringing out good energy and provided a comfortable/informative experience. I enjoyed his guidance in basic techniques and history of the art of Kendo. I highly encourage anyone with an interest to take the class. It added a dimension of cultural value to my Japan trip.

• 5Super fun! I loved it!

  I had a wonderful time at the Samurai Trip kendo experience class. The Sensei was extremely helpful, with an incredibly dynamic and engaging demeanor. I attended solo, and was one of three in a mixed group. We all had a fantastic time! It was super fun. I highly recommend this to anyone.
