I have been studying Kenjutsu and Iaido for ovet 20 years. Kendo is an art onto itself. Kenshi is a master. For young or old this is an experience that will leave you with an understanding of Kendo and the people involved with the art. Kenshi will teach you the basics, then show you how deep you can go if you choose to. From shinai..to armor this kid knows his stuff. Do your self a favor and spend a day with Kenshi.

It's a great lesson to discover Kendo. It was a pleasure to put yourself in the shoes of a samurai. Thank you Kenshi for this experience and his professionalism.
