The experience I offer is neither entertainment for foreigners nor a tourist trap. My class is training.
In this class, you will learn and experience the three disciplines: Iai, kendo (Gekken), and Test cutting.
In the Iai lesson, you will learn how to handle a Katana.
In the Gekken lesson, you will learn how to maintain the appropriate amount of space between you and an opponent.And learn when to attack and when to defend.
In the Test-cutting lesson, you will actually apply what you have learned and use an authentic Katana to cut two polles.
First, when you arrive at the dojo, you will attend a short lecture and change into your training clothes.
Next, after learning basic sword handling techniques, you will spar with a safe sparring sword.
Each person will get two poles for cutting. On the first pole, you may cut as you feel. We will then provide you with advice. Use this advice to challenge to the second pole. If you can properly apply what you have learned you will be able to cut the pole with a clean cut.
