An 18-person group from the USA joined our private Samurai Experience in Tokyo!
Getting Started: Changing into Samurai Costumes
The experience began with everyone changing into samurai costumes. Getting dressed was part of the fun, and the group was excited to see themselves in their new outfits. Guests enjoyed taking photos with their friends, capturing memories of their samurai experience in Japan.
Watch a Samurai Sword Performance
After changing into their costumes, the group watched a samurai sword-fighting performance by our instructors. The performance, Miyamoto Musashi, featured three performers and introduced the guests to the dramatic movements and techniques of samurai sword fighting.
The guests enjoyed watching the performance before trying the techniques themselves.
Learn Samurai Sword Techniques
Next, the participants learned basic samurai forms using imitation swords. They practiced the movements step by step, learning how to handle the sword and perform traditional techniques.
The training continued with partner exercises using wooden swords, giving everyone an opportunity to practice their movements with another participant.
Put Your Skills to the Test in One-on-One Sword Fighting
The highlight of the session was one-on-one sword fighting practice. The participants put their newly learned techniques into action, challenging each other in friendly practice matches.
The atmosphere was lively, with participants cheering each other on throughout the session. At the end, the room filled with cheers and excitement, creating an energetic experience with the enthusiastic spirit often associated with American groups.
