Discovering the Joy of Tatedo: A Look into Our Latest Experiences
This time, we’re excited to share some highlights from recent tatedo experiences!
From individual participants to families and groups, people from all walks of life have come together to enjoy the art of tatedo.
Every participant brought a unique energy and dedication to their practice,
which truly inspires us to give our all in guiding them.
Through the shared activity of “tatedo,” participants not only laugh and have fun together but also discover new sides of themselves along the way.
It’s always an incredible pleasure to see how this experience brings people closer and creates unforgettable memories.
A Private Family Adventure
From the moment the family arrived, it was clear that this was not just any experience—it was their own personal journey. In the privacy of our dojo, they had the full attention of our expert instructors, ensuring that every detail was focused on making their experience truly special. This intimate setting allowed them to immerse themselves fully, free from distractions, and with the guidance of our staff, each family member worked hard to master the techniques.
A Shared Experience That Brings Pride
One of the most rewarding aspects of this family’s journey was watching the parents beam with pride as their children practiced the basic samurai forms with seriousness and determination. The footwork, an essential element of samurai stage combat (Tatedo), was carefully taught, and the children took it step by step, honing their movements. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of seeing your children give their best and succeed, and for these parents, it was a heartwarming moment to watch them progress with each move.
Mastering the Art Together
Even the more challenging parts of the experience, like the batto (drawing the sword) and noto (sheathing the sword), were approached with patience and focus. While these skills require precision and practice, participants supported one another, offering encouragement and working together to get it right. By the end of the session, they had mastered these techniques, showcasing both teamwork and individual effort.
The true joy, however, came when it was time to step into the fight choreography. Everyone fully embraced their roles, with one person playing the hero while another performed a perfectly dramatic “death” scene. In one memorable moment, a participant’s theatrical performance had everyone laughing and fully engaged—it was a highlight of the day.
A Truly Special Moment
This private experience was filled with laughter, excitement, and moments of genuine pride.
Whether participants were engaging in intense swordplay with each other or performing a dramatic duel with our instructors, everyone came together to make the most of their time.
And as they left, they took with them not just the skills they had learned,
but also shared memories of an incredible adventure.
At the Japan Tatedo Association, we believe that samurai experiences are more than just learning a new skill—they’re about creating special moments with the people you care about.
Our private sessions are designed to give participants the time and space to connect, all while receiving personalized attention from our staff.
Whether it’s discovering new techniques, sharing laughs, or immersing yourself in a world of samurai, it’s an experience that will be remembered long after the session ends.
So if you’re looking for a unique, freeing, and truly memorable adventure, we invite you to join us for your own private samurai experience. Step into a new world, embrace the sword, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
