This year we’ve partnered with Taka Strike Club. The first evening focuses on the foundations of traditional Kenjutsu and the mindset behind samurai sword movement.

Led by Tetsuro Shimaguchi, participants will explore posture, precision, timing, control and the philosophy of movement through practical sword training and choreography principles used for stage and screen. This session is designed to build strong technical understanding while introducing the discipline, awareness and presence required within samurai performance and combat movement.

Participants will work through:

• How to hold and draw a Katana correctly

• Basic postures and footwork

• Swing training and controlled cutting mechanics

• Slash training and directional striking

• Short 1v1 choreography training

• Choreography filming for performance and screen work

Suitable for performers, martial artists, stunt practitioners and movement artists of all experience levels.
