Overview

My classe is not for entertainment for foreigners. Guests who are interested in samurai culture should come to my class. This class is the only one in Japan where you can learn Swordsmanship and Traditional Japanese Horseback Archery from true masters of both disciplines. In this class, you can experience swordsmanship and archery. The instructor is a master of swordsmanship and horseback archery, also called yabusame. I am one of the very few masters in the world who has mastered both swordsmanship and horseback archery and continues to pass them down. My guests can experience something they can never experience in any other samurai experience. Also, all my techniques are authentic.
