Tameshigiri Specialty Course
This course specializes in test cutting, which is called tameshigiri in Japanese. After a lecture on the Japanese sword, participants will learn how to handle and swing a Japanese sword. From there, they will cut progressively thicker rolls of straw mats which are called wara or tatami in Japanese. Starting with a thin roll of wara or full-size roll of wara, participants will be able to check their control of the angle of the blade. Next, they can take the challenge to cut a double rolled wara or two separate wara placed side-by-side. In either instance, if the angle of the sword blade is correct, it should not be difficult to cut through the wara. However, this is a more specialized course because if the angle of the blade is slightly off, it will be difficult to cut the wara.

Test Cutting in Full Armor Course
In this course participants can experience the three disciplines of kenjutsu (iai, gekken, tameshigiri) and take the challenge of test cutting while wearing samurai armor. This experience will allow you to fully appreciate the high level of skill needed by the samurai to not only move around under the weight of the armor but also the increase difficulty it brought to successfully cut through a target. A brief explanation of the three disciplines that make up kenjutsu may be necessary for people unfamiliar with kenjutsu. First, iai focuses on how to control and swing the sword. Next, gekken covers distancing, timing, offense, and defense against an opponent. Lastly, tameshigiri teaches how to control the blade while actually cutting through a target.
