Authentic Experience that teaches you the heart and spirit of Japan through Kendo.
The experience at Kendo Spirit was wonderful. This is not a quick touristy experience but rather a serious (but fun) comprehensive lesson about Kendo, its history, cultural importance and spirituality. There were 7 of us ranging in age from 20s to 60s, showing that it's an experience accessible to all ages. The class was done in a way that gave everyone the opportunity to learn each move slowly and then incorporate it all for a battle at the end.

Fantastic introduction to Kendo
An absolutely fantastic experience at Kendo Spirit. Daichi was a brilliant instructor teaching both the tradition and physical elements of Kendo. Would definitely recommend this as an experience for anyone with even a passing interest in Japanese culture and martial arts.

Fantastic Kendo Experience
My 7-year old and I went having no idea what to expect. It was wonderful from beginning to end. Before the lesson, emails were sent to make sure they had the right size uniforms for us and very clear instructions with photos of where the studio is located. The lesson itself was so much fun! We had an informative introduction to the history and values and then a great lesson on the essential movements. Both instructors were very patient with my kid and supportive. We both recommend this experience and would definitely try it again!

Kendo experience
This is an amazing experience. It’s something I wouldn’t normally do, as completely out of my comfort zone. I am so glad I did. It was very educational as well as practical and helps you understand the concept behind the art. Well worth a go, you won’t regret the experience.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Nicola! I know some parts of the experience were completely outside your comfort zone, so I was really happy to see you just go for it and enjoy yourself. Your men strike against Dean was especially good! It was a lot of fun practicing with you, and I’m really glad you gave kendo a try. Hope we can train together again someday!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Ahmed! I really enjoyed practicing Kendo with you.
I especially enjoyed our match at the end. I loved the way you kept coming forward and attacking without hesitation. That fearless attitude is very important in Kendo, and it made our match a lot of fun for me too!
Thank you again for coming to train with us together with Julie. If your time at Kendo Spirit became one of the good memories from your trip to Japan, that makes me very happy. I hope we can practice together again someday!

Do THIS Samurai Training Experience - Absolutely Worth it!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Kendo Spirit in Tokyo, and it was truly unforgettable. The most memorable part for me was delving into the rich history behind Kendo. It added so much depth to the experience, making it more than just a physical activity. Participating in the session offered a unique insight into Japanese culture, especially the spirit of Bushido. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly welcoming, guiding us with patience and enthusiasm. I appreciated the focus on etiquette and the deeper meaning behind each movement. One of the key takeaways for me was the technique. The hands-on approach made it easy to grasp the basics, and I left with a newfound appreciation for the art. Overall, Kendo Spirit provides an authentic and enriching cultural experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo. It's a perfect blend of learning and immersion, offering a glimpse into a fascinating aspect of Japanese heritage.

Experiencing Kendo in Tokyo
I recently experienced Kendo Spirit in Tokyo. From the moment I stepped into the dojo, I felt a very respectful and clean atmosphere. The instructors were very knowledgeable, patient and skilled. We learned about the history of kendo, practiced drills for moving and attacking and then we were able to try some matching. I appreciated the etiquette that surrounds kendo and the spirit of Bushido felt in the dojo. I highly recommend Kendo Spirit to anyone visiting Tokyo. It’s a wonderful introduction to the history and culture of kendo.
