Super fun experience with lots to learn. - Two of us went to the training session we both learnt so much from the workshop. The master was very professional and friendly. He spoke very good English but still arranged for a nice lady to be the translator. They took lots of photos and videos of us while we were training. We thoroughly enjoyef our experience highly recommend to those into martial arts and disciplinary swordsmanship.

Authentic Kendo Experience…. - This experience was so wonderful Sensei Tosh’s and his wife Kumiko were so hospitable and took great care of us from the moment we arrived. The class is a real, one where you get to learn kendo forms, striking and competition rules / techniques. The class is quick and an actual fitness class (you will get a good workout)! There are plenty of photos and poses that are allowed to commemorate the class but the best part is learning from a champion like Tosh and his lovely wife!

Samurai Experience - Thank you so much to Toshi for your fun and positive way in engaging our teen boys in this Samurai experience. Our boys loved every moment of their training. They got to get dress up in full armour and had lots of photos and videos taken for fond memories. Best part was when they had a dual battle with each other and Toshi. The history and information behind this was explained to us short and sweet too. The boys received a small memorabilia signed by Toshi. Highly recommended. Thank you Toshi!! Loved it ! Loved it!!!
