Best Kendo Experience in Osaka - It was a great experience. It was the best kendo experience with everything from the mastery of the sword to the heart of Japan. The instructors taught well, so Novices could feel safe. I'm going to go again when my kids grow up.

Best Kendo Experience - I have experience in kendo. I came here to practice kendo with a friend who has never done it before. I was very surprised. I never thought my friends who are new to kendo would enjoy it so much. The instructors here are very good at teaching. Everyone can enjoy Kendo here. I hope that many people will experience this experience. In addition, there were many swords and samurai Gutz, and the best experience was given. I want to be lively again.

wonderful Kendo experience - I had an absolutely fantastic experience. As a complete beginner in Kendo, I was initially nervous, but the instructor’s step-by-step guidance from the fundamentals put me at ease. By the end of the session, I was even able to participate in a basic match, which was thrilling. The instructor's energy and constant encouragement made the entire experience not only enjoyable but also highly motivating. They also took photos and videos throughout the practice and shared them with me afterward, allowing me to fully concentrate on the training. I am eager to participate again and would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in Kendo.

Otaku Satisfaction - I am Japanese. I like Japanese works like Jedi, Killville, Naruto and Demon Slayer, but I had never experienced Kendo = Samurai before. Google “SAMURAI KAIKAN” and you can go. They will lend you clothes to exercise during the lesson. You should take your drink with you. The teacher was the best master in Osaka. First, the teacher will tell you about the history of Samurai. Next, they teach me manners like courtesy and meditation that even the Japanese do not know. It's important in kendo. Then a bamboo sword is used. You can learn from the basics, so you don't have to know anything. They take pictures during the lesson. Once you learn the basics, you play a game. I am not good at exercise, but the teacher taught me so I could work with peace of mind. At the end, I fight my teacher, who is very strong. It ended before I knew what had happened. I was Japanese so I didn't have any trouble speaking, but the teacher speaks simple English. If you sweat, you can take a shower. It was a lovely experience. I want to go again.

Amazing Kendo experience - Amazing Kendo experience with friendly instructor. At first, we learned the basic movements of kendo, and in the end, we were able to have a simple match. It's easy to understand because the instructor first demonstrates the movements.

Kendo is amazing. - The experience today was amazing! The dojo was also great! It is difficult to see swords and armor even in Japan. However, this dojo has many samurai-feeling goods! Kendo was something I had always been interested in and did for the first time, but I really enjoyed it and had a valuable experience. I played the game with the teacher and there was no gap at all. He was a great kendoka. This Kendo experience is a Recommendation.
