Unforgettable experience - It was a wonderful experience. It gave us the desire to continue. A special thank you to our guide Taiji Yamakawa .

Incredible Kendo Class/Experience - If you are looking for a very authentic experience but also a lot of fun and educational, this is the class. What an amazing two hours! I can’t recommend this experience more. My wife and I absolutely loved it!

It is a great... - It is a great introduction to the basics of kendo. The lesson gives the participants an overview of the characteristics and guides them through the rules and principles. We had a wonderful time trying out this exceptional art. Many thanks to our teacher Taiji Yamakawa.

Good entry for interested parties - Small group and attentive teacher.

Respect the Spirit of Kendo - What a pleasure to meet Our guide Taiji Yamakawa! My son and I took a bucketlist trip to Okinawa and wanted to learn more about the Kendo martial art. This Kendo experience was intimate, informative, and great exercise too! Our guide explained to us the importance of respect in the Kendo spirit and to be passionate with movements and your voice. We were fitted with our Dogi and Hakama (upper and lower garments) and taught step by step basic movements, strike points, equipment names, stances and how to use the Shinai (bamboo sword). If you are not Japanese speaking, it is helpful to bring a portable translator tool/app to ask more in depth questions easier. Our guide was very patient and helpful with corrections for a proper experience. This is a very physical activity so stay hydrated and prepare to sweat. Next, it was time to battle each other and exhibit all we had learned. Thank you Taiji for such a memorable experience! Thank you for opening the sacred space of the Dogo for us. We look forward to hearing of your championships! Go shidō itadaki kōeideshita. Arigatōgozaimashita!

Fun Experience - Excellent and attentive teacher. Ex Okinawa champion. Made the whole experience fun and informative.

Memory of a lifetime!!! - Amazing experience!!! I booked this trip before traveling to Okinawa from US and Kenshi was super helpful in answering all my questions and guiding me through scheduling, location and payment. Very considerate and informative. Taiji was the instructor for me and my son and he was an excellent teacher and guide!! He helped us to understand some of the history, all of the introductory moves, dressing in the dogi, hakama and respect for the Budokan. We also got to watch and learn competition moves and scoring system. Taiji is encouraging, professional, friendly and took all the nervousness away. We are so grateful to him for this experience we will never forget!!!

Our instructor was great!... - Our instructor was great! He was patient, funny, and attentive. He made our first Kendo class a fun experience! I highly recommend!

Learn the Art of Kendo - Fantastic experience with Taiji Sensei! Although his English is limited, his directions were very clear. I really enjoyed this experience and would do it again!
