This was a very fun experience and I would recommend it depending on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a serious martial arts class this is not for you. The class is run by stage actors with a background in kendo not a martial arts school. If you like old samurai movies and would enjoy acting out a scene from them in costume then this is what you are looking for.
