Wa Rei Ryu Switzerland - Dojo Jouen

Kenjutsu and Battōjutsu are the Japanese martial arts most closely associated with the sword. Whether katana or wakizashi, nodachi or tantō, any type of sword that was wielded by the samurai is included. Straddling the line between Zen and Shintō, stemming from bujutsu and heihō, with an influence that goes right back to the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, the Wa Rei Ryū continues this age-old tradition of the art of the sword: come and see us in action at Japan Impact! …and after seeing our demonstration come and discover the art of the samurai sword by trying it out.

For two days, you’ll be able to try out, briefly and with guidance, a few basic strikes and cuts (kihon waza) as well as codified combat situations (kumitachi) using bokken (wooden sword).

This will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about samurai and their martial arts.
