Fun - This was a lot of fun. It was hot in August and if i did it again id probably pick cooler weather, but it was still worth doing. Our instructor spoke excellent English and made the experience worthwhile. It was easy to get to by train.

Great Kendo class - Sensai had a positive attitude and was very motivational. He taught us basics of Kendo (men (head) / kote (wrist) / do (body)), as well as importance of footwork.

Kendo experience with friends - Overall satisfied. Instructor gave a lot of freedom to spar each other and the training equipment was complete. However, the actual active time we got for sparring and technique drilling did not take up the entire 2 hours we booked and was closer to an hour so the instructor could have been more clear about the time of our experience.
