You change to our samurai training attire, and learn the samurai manners and customs to show respect and to handle swords.

First you learn a short sword technique. Then learn the long sword techinique: the authentic stances, and our kata (set of movemnts) which reuires the techniques of horizontal, vertical, diagonal cuts and cutting-up. Then try the entry level kusarifudo (chain and weights) shuriken techniques

The purpose of the training is to introduce the concepts of Shinshin Ichiyo (Body Mind Integration) and Fudoshin (unshakable heart) - in which the mind is not caught by any desire.

Though we can understand our goal intuitively, we cannot move our bodies properly without practicing technique.

The single sword brandish of shinshin ichinyo (Body Mind Inteftration) should be realized when one acquires a sense of extreme calm and enhanced concentration through experience.

Though short, we hope the training will give you a deeper insight into our shinobi samurai culture

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
