Need to do this again - Ryo-sensei taught our group a kata and then had us fight each other with foam swords. Had a blast and would love to learn more about swordsmanship!

Fun and informative at the same time. - The experience combined culture and fun. Learning a pattern with the samuri swords was fun, and the museum and guided tour gave a great explanation of how all the social classes in feudal fitted and worked together. It's worth a visit.
