Awesome Experience!

We absolutely loved our experience! One of the best bookings we have done. Toshi was an exceptional teacher and everyone was very welcoming from the moment we walked in. We went through the history of Kendo and learned the various techniques. Having never done it before Toshi does a great job of explaining all of the fundamentals to quickly pick up. Your photos and videos are also taken care of; you receive a Google Drive link a day or so after, and the quality is great. Be sure to book this for a one of a kind class!!
