Additional Information
Iaido, once a training technique of the samurais, persists today as an ancient Japanese marital art. Through the practice of test cutting, one learns the art of wielding a sword that’s capable of slicing. Engaging in such a test cut experience - earnestly cutting a tatami mat - is a widely embraced activity that allows individuals to experience the spirit of a samurai.

Awesome experience - A great educational experience. A hands on event that showed the strong culture need of concentration and skill. Getting to use the ancient swords was very powerful. I had three children aged 12, 17, 29 and myself. Very genuine experience and lovely organisers. Highly recommend.
