About This Deal
A sword demands the utmost respect from its wielder, lest it grow dull from constantly repeating, "That's Mister Sword to you." Keep your blade quiet with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
$28 for three samurai-sword classes (a $75 value)
$119 for five samurai-sword classes and a sword to take home (up to a $260 value)
Students begin their training by learning the feel of a wooden practice sword, curved to imitate the blade of a traditional Japanese katana. Through rigid repetition of the basics, pupils advance to cutting with dulled metal blades and, eventually, sharpened brands called shinken. Organized by experience, classes are open to both beginning- and intermediate-level swordfish and humans.
