Our whole family went for an authentic samurai training experience. We were presented with a genuine samurai outfit, which made it even more enjoyable. Sayo was a fantastic teacher and very committed to his craft. After the experience I decided to buy a traditional Japanese wakisashi sword from Sayo. I highly recommend the experience.

Our sword purchase experience was amazing. We took a class in the dojo that was amazing too. Yushin Sensei, Sayo and Jordan were so nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Yushin Sensei explained and demonstrated the sword techniques in a way that was easy to follow. The translation to English was very good and the way they corrected us as students was very respectful. After the class, Yushin Sensei displayed several Katana for us to look at for purchase. They explained each sword and allowed me to feel and appreciate each one. The process was not pressured at all and was done with the highest respect to the dojo, the sword and Yushin Sensei. The sword arrived about three months after purchase. During the purchase process, the paperwork presented explained the process for getting the sword out of Japan as well as the time frame. Sayo kept in contact via email and let me know when the sword cleared the government. She sent the tracking number so I was able to follow the package. Further, I asked Sayo to send me the history of the sword I purchased. I was expecting a Japanese explanation of the sword’s history. She sent a Japanese and English translation. All of the paperwork was included in the box and all of the contents of the box was presented in Japanese culture. The sword was packaged in the box perfectly. The box was heavy cardboard and the filling inside the box was perfect. The sword arrived in the exact condition I purchased in. I do not know how the whole experience could have been done any better.
