Chairman, Japan’s Largest International Iaido Organisation Hogyokuakai
MUGAI-ryu Iaido Kyoshi 7-dan licence Master
In Fukuoka, there are still samurai practising MUGAI-ryu iai, which has a 340-year history.
They practise the real art of using Japanese swords.
At the top of their game is Japan’s proud master, Hogyoku Takeda OSS.
He is the rightful heir to the licence to carry on the 340-year tradition.
In recognition of his achievements, Scotland awarded him the Order of the OSS.
You can receive his guidance and experience the Samurai experience.
It will be a great time.
The sword used is a replica sword for iaido that is safe and secure even for beginners.
Test cutting with a serious sword requires a skilled technique to handle, as there is a risk of making a momentary mistake and cutting off a finger, or bending the sword.
Even if you insure your experience, you cannot recover if an accident occurs.
The swords used in these lessons are safe for women and children as this does not happen.
Enjoy the extraordinary experience of wielding a sword and becoming a samurai.
