Ninja were the masters of stealth and espionage in ancient Japan. The samurai were their noble counterparts, protectors of the feudal lords, and strict practitioners of the moral codes of Bushido, the way of the warrior. Both have deeply influenced modern-day Japanese sports and martial arts. 

In this combined program, you will take part in two activities, one dedicated to the practices of the samurai, and the other to those of the ninja. In these two programs, you will learn the meditations, codes, and philosophies behind the two warrior types, and practice using their weaponry, such as samurai swords and ninja throwing stars. Finally, both experiences offer you the opportunity to take part in a photoshoot in your warrior clothing.
