5.00Shurikens were kind and polite to me, who was completely insecure and problematic. In the end, I didn't hit it, but I was able to fly it to the wall‼️ I also enjoyed the city mission in ninja uniform, so I recommend it!️
Love this!

5.00Very fun experience. Even the basic course gives you practice with a sword (short and long), shuriken and a blowgun. I personally loved the blowgun the most. Every training ended in a "exam" where you had to hit a certain target. In the end you got a little certificate as a keepsake :>.
