Prepare for battle as you learn the skills of the samurai during a class in Kyoto. Study the basic techniques of the ancient Japanese warriors and get an introduction to the samurai art.

Study the art of the samurai warrior class that ruled ancient Japan for centuries.

Then, suit up and take hold of your samurai sword. Learn how to bow before your sword training begins. Discover how to draw it and replace it in its protective scabbard. Get a short photo shoot in your samurai suit, and then discover how to show respect to your opponent with the sword. With a respectful bow to your instructor, grab your certificate of achievement.
