Full description

Step into the world of the samurai with professional instructors by your side—action actors. Beginners are more than welcome. The instructors are professional action actors, and during the lesson, you will not engage in actual sword fighting. Instead, you will learn the movements of the samurai safely using practice swords.

You can choose between a private course and a public course.

In the public course, you will join a class where aspiring Japanese actors are learning samurai action. After observing, you can practice alongside them. Learn the movements of the samurai while interacting with Japanese students.

The workshop begins with warm-up exercises, followed by mastering the fundamental movements of a samurai. You will learn essential techniques such as how to properly grip, hold, and swing a sword, gradually drawing you into the world of the samurai.

Once you have mastered the basics, you will engage in paired practice with a professional samurai, experiencing a scene straight out of an action movie. You will also witness a powerful demonstration by the samurai, allowing you to truly appreciate their skills up close.

In the private course, you will first receive a brief introduction to the history and culture of the samurai. Then, a professional action actor will tailor the lesson to your level and goals. Private classes are popular among those who want to learn in depth. They are especially favored by martial arts practitioners and those knowledgeable about Japanese culture.

At the end of the session, you will have the opportunity to take memorable photos with the samurai, preserving this special experience as a keepsake. If you're unsure, just observing can still be a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Would you like to join this special workshop held in the heart of Tokyo? It’s easily accessible from Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Tsukiji. Don’t miss this unique chance to feel the spirit of the samurai in this extraordinary workshop!

Thank you for the great review! You were very gentlemanly and gave your full effort throughout the experience. Your breathing was excellent, and your posture was beautiful. But what impressed us the most was your technique of being “cut” — it was truly outstanding. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Jamie! We’re truly honored to be part of your honeymoon — such a joy for us! I’m glad you enjoyed the samurai experience. Now I need to play Ghost of Tsushima too, not just FORTNITE! Hope to see you again someday. May the samurai spirit be with you!

Truly wonderful samurai experience! Getting to wear the beautiful samurai clothes, learning the rest positions and sword combat moves have made this one of best activities we have tried in Japan: many thanks to instructors Dai and Kume and to the amazing kids that joined the training!
