- The way of the samurai is one of the legends of ancient Japan which retains its romance and mystery to this day and the soul of a samurai was of course, in his sword. We are planning on trying to learn some of the basics of this ancient art, starting with basic movements, such as drawing, posing with, and swinging a sword. The two and a half hour session will be led by Tetsuro Shimaguchi, a master sword fight choreographer who is best known for his work on Quentin Tarrantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 (if you have seen the movie you are sure to remember the dramatic sword fight in an idyllic snowy Japanese garden between the Bride and O-Ren Ishii). After studying the basic moves we will see breathtaking choreographed sword fighting performed then we get to practice! We are going to try take videos. They will even let us put on the hakama, the traditional wear of the samurai.
Please keep us in your prayers
