SAMURAI TRAINING

For the first time in Latvia - the 16th generation samurai Sensei Zen Takai. 

Sensei Zen Takai - born in Fukuoka, Japan, he is 16th generation samurai. Having dedicated over 30 years to practice ancient samurai techniques and culture, Sensei Zen has made it his mission to preserve the heritage of Japan and pass it on to his students. Teaching for many years from his dojo in Asakusa, Tokyo, he started traveling and sought recognition from many students all over the world. As a martial artist, he is often invited to different forums to present and perform his art.
