This is a full-scale one-day training in traditional Japanese martial arts by Isao Machii, the world's best iaido master who has appeared in various media outlets and is known for his iaido technique of cutting 6mm BB bullets flying at high speed. In this experience, you will learn the structure of a sword, how to use it correctly, and deep knowledge about samurai and Japanese swords, and you will be able to master all kinds of traditional Japanese martial arts, including swordsmanship and body techniques. The martial arts you learn under Isao Machii's guidance are different from traditional martial arts that have become mere formalities. In authentic traditional Japanese martial arts, you will learn the techniques to skillfully apply the opponent's strength and toy with your opponent with slight movements. These practical techniques can be applied in everyday life and are sure to greatly change your worldview. Dress in training clothes, dispel the misunderstandings you have about samurai culture and Japanese swords, and experience true samurai culture. This will be a great opportunity for those who are looking for the real thing. ~ Flow of one-day training ~ 8:40 Meet at Nose Electric Railway's "Tada Station" and move to Tada Shrine by free shuttle. 8:50 Arrive at Tada Shrine.

The instruction will be provided by the Guinness World Record-holding modern samurai, Isao Machii himself, and his top disciples. This plan, supervised by Isao Machii, will not only teach you the kata, but also teach you samurai martial arts that can be used in real combat. Rather than focusing on the kata, the focus is on how to actually use your body and move efficiently without exerting force. This is a rare opportunity to experience authentic samurai techniques and learn truly useful martial arts. After this experience, you will have a deeper understanding of the essence of the samurai who uses a Japanese sword, and you will be able to start on the path of martial arts with confidence. *Due to the guidance of the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the National Police Agency, this plan does not provide sword-cutting instruction to anyone other than disciples.
