The lesson begins in a compact studio near central Tokyo, the lights low and the air taut with practiced silence. You step into a dark robe, the fabric settling against your shoulders, and for seventy-five minutes the city’s neon hum feels a world away. Instructors move with efficient economy — a living lesson in focus — and the room tightens into the rhythm of drills, throws, and staged duels.
