Samurai Tour: Samurai Sword Action
You will learn how to fight using a Samurai sword from a group of experts led by Tetsuro Shimaguchi, the head choreographer in the swordfight scene in the snowy garden in “Kill Bill: Volume One” and the man who played the role of Crazy 88 (Miki) in the film.
First, you will learn basic movements in sword fighting, for example, drawing, posing and swinging. Then, before practicing sword fighting in pairs, you will watch breathtaking sword fights by your instructors. So your performance can be evaluated after your performance will be videotaped. At the end of this program, you will change into kimono. Don’t miss this great opportunity to receive a lesson from a team of worldwide known sword fighting actors!

Feedback from our participants:
"Very good. A fascinating insight into Japanese culture. It was great learning from a real expert." (Canadian, 20`s)
| We got a pleasant surprise note and picture from one of our participant: "My 7-year old son greatly enjoyed the Samurai Sword Action class; in fact it was one of the highlights of his visit to Japan. Sensei Tetsuro and Takuro-san were patient and encouraging and made the class fun and educational. I enthusiastically recommend the class to parents with children who have an interest in martial arts or samurai." (American, 50`s)  |
