Samurai Swordsmanship Experience

Step into the world of the Samurai.

Join us for a hands-on Samurai Swordsmanship Experience where you’ll get an authentic introduction to the traditional Japanese martial art of Iaido—the way of the sword.

​

In this immersive workshop, participants will:

• Learn the proper way to wear and handle a katana

• Practice how to draw and sheath the sword with precision

• Explore fundamental cutting techniques

• Train in a traditional solo kata (form) that blends movement, awareness, and intent

​

No experience is necessary—this session is perfect for beginners, martial arts enthusiasts, or anyone curious about the disciplined and elegant art of the Samurai.

All training swords will be provided. Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement (or a martial arts uniform if you have one).
