Samurai Sword Fighting - East Village (Online) December 10, 2017I 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.

Samurai Sword Fighting - East Village (Online) August 23, 2015we 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.

Samurai Sword Fighting - East Village (Online) June 16, 2014Most 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)

Samurai Sword Fighting - East Village (Online) December 30, 2013We 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.

Shamae P.
Samurai Sword Fighting - East Village (Online) May 14, 2013It 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.
