Samurai Experience Mugai Ryu Iaido in Tokyo (opens in a new tab)

53 1 h

Master Takeda and Iai-Mugairyu Master Takeda Hougyoku is the head of the International Iaido Organization Hougyoku-kai. The largest mugairyu organization, and practices the purest, most traditionally faithful form of Mugairyu. He is recognized globally having received accolades from the Order of the Scottish Samurai and appeared in a promotion video given by Tokyo at an international convention. You need years of experience practicing Iai before you will be able to safely wield a real sword. The use of a real katana by an inexperienced swordsman presents both the risk of injury to yourself and the participants around you and the risk of bending or damaging the sword. Even if you have insurance, it is impossible to erase the damage of any accident that may occur. Therefore, to prevent any accidents and provide peace of mind for everyone – you, the other participants, the teachers, etc. involved, we will only use mock katana in this experience.

Change into traditional training attire and learn grip, stance, and sword movement before your cutting attempt. Experience the precision and control of Japanese swordsmanship, with the traditions of iaido providing context. After your practice, watch the master’s demonstration up close with a new appreciation of his skill. Receive a certificate of completion as a souvenir.
