What we’re about

Many people are interested in trying Kendo but find it difficult to start because the armor is expensive.
That’s why this program includes a rental option — so you can begin training right away without needing to buy your own equipment.

◉About the Program
Kendo Spirit Regular Class in Tokyo – Be Samurai – is a regular weekly Kendo class designed for those who want to go beyond a one-time experience and truly train like a Samurai.
This is not a tourist activity — it’s an ongoing practice where you’ll learn real Kendo techniques, etiquette, and the mindset of Bushido in a supportive, international environment.

Whether you are a beginner or continuing from a previous Kendo Spirit experience, this program helps you build skill, discipline, and spirit through consistent weekly training.

◉If You Want to Experience Kendo First
If you’d like to understand what Kendo is or try a full introduction before joining,
Kendo Spirit also offers the Samurai Kendo Experience — a two-hour program that condenses the essence of Kendo into one unforgettable session.
You’ll learn about its history, philosophy, etiquette, techniques, and even experience a match — all in just two hours.
