This is a totally new type of class which combines a great fitness workout with traditional Japanese Samurai sword fighting techniques.
We use soft, lightweight foam swords, so you can get a great exercise without worrying about handling a sharp and heavy blade. You will learn to execute traditional Samurai sword cuttings and stepping techniques slowly and smoothly, and feel every muscle stretch completely.
You can eventually practice shadow fighting and partnering in this class. It is an energetic class with music and dance, and lots of fun! Can you survive Samurai Boot Camp!?
