Gain insight into the art of swordsmanship through a three-part class {iai, kendo (gekken), slash (test cutting)}. Learn about samurai culture, hone your skills, and cut two targets using a real samurai sword. Upon arrival at the dojo, you will receive a short lecture and change into training wear. In the iai lesson, you will learn how to handle and swing the sword. In the gekken lesson, you will learn the timing of attack and defense, and spar with a practice sword. In the test cutting lesson, you will cut two targets using a real sword. In the real cutting, each person will be given two targets, and the first target is a practice to cut the second one well. Your instructor will give you advice on how to improve your technique before you attempt to cleanly cut a second target. If you manage to cut the target correctly, you will get a real feel for the sharpness of the Japanese samurai sword.
