About this Activity

You are the one that has seen every Bruce Lee movie and loves Japanese culture. This samurai sword fighting class dedicated to Samurai Sword Soul Style is the perfect way to feed those interests. Each class will walk you through a 3-step process based on Waki Style Tate, Kendo, Karate, Iaido and Japanese Classical Dance. First, you will practice basic sword techniques, such as gripping, breathing, and footwork. Next, you will experiment with sword contact via offensive and defensive moves. Finally, you'll learn choreography, which recognizes samurai sword fighting as both a martial and performing art. Perfect for anyone looking to improve their concentration and try something entirely new, you'll channel that inner samurai in no time!

Note: Please wear comfortable gym clothes to move around (and sweat) in. A wooden sword will be provided for you.

I was greatly looking forward to the class. It was actually a surprise gift for a friend of mine. However, when we got there we were told that the class was cancelled due to a scheduled performance. In my opinion that is extremely unprofessional and I should have been contacted as soon as the instructor found out that the space for the class was unavailable.

we had a great time at the sword class! Yoshi San moved at a good pace to learn the moves, and we had a fun choreographed sequence by the end. I felt a little lost at points, but the other members helped give me tips.

Most people in the class have been practicing this for many years and are excellent. It can feel a little overwhelming at first being the newbie, but they are all patient and great teachers so don't be afraid! (PS- your forearms will be sore the next day if you aren't used to using those muscles)

We did this class as a fun couple event, but didn't realize that there would be people who took this class to learn this art form. So when we seen people with their own samurai swords (wooden kind), holsters and trousers we got a little nervous. However, the instructor and returning students were great! The instructor took time to show all the newbies techniques that the vets clearly already knew and even partnered us up with the vets who also took time to show us what was being taught. Really enjoyed the class and found this to be a great date for couples who like to be active.

The samurai sword fighting class was a great experience and date. It challenged us with new skills and the instructor was patient and tons of fun. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something new to do to take them our of their comfort zone :)

It seemed like the teachers were a bit irritated by the new beginner's there ( Including me) I thought that's why we needed to be "Trained " since it was a training class. However it was a very good workout and I might even consider going back.
