Proximity — This activity will bring you into close proximity with the other participants

Kenjutsu and Battōjutsu are the Japanese martial arts most closely associated with the sword. Whether katana or wakizashi, nodachi or tantō, any type of sword used by the samurai is included. Straddling the line between Zen and Shinto, derived from bujutsu and heihō, with an influence that goes right back to the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, Wa Rei Ryu continues this age-old tradition of the art of the sword: come and see us in action at Japan Impact!

…and after seeing our demonstration come and discover the art of the samurai sword by trying it out.

For two days you’ll be able to try out, briefly and with guidance, some basic strikes and cuts (kihon waza) as well as codified combat situations (kumitachi) using bokken (wooden sword).

This will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the samurai and their martial arts.
