***AMAZING top experience in Istanbul everyone who is considering definitely getting this experience. - This experience was amazing, I learnt more sword training then I ever did in my life. There were real metal swords with non sharp metal blades and small axes with shields armour and a few props from the Turkish TV series Ertugrul. This expert swordmaster looked exactly like the actor of Ertugrul and had trained the actors before their scenes and had personally met the actors in real life. There was only a small cost and then no admission fee. We trained for around 2 hours in his own house/small private shop and although they had been smoking they made up for that with the amazing experience. The atmosphere was smoky tough warrior smell with a small tiled area to fight in and a table on the other side of room. It was down a side street so was not busy. This experience is good for anyone young or old female of male all people welcome, they even let my baby brother have a try. Have to recommend to anyone considering.
