Samurai Experience in Barcelona
Imagine dressing up as an authentic samurai warrior and learning how to handle a katana. This is the experience offered by Samurai Experience, located at 605 Consell de Cent.
Crossing the door of this place will transport you to a zen Japanese atmosphere, with low tables, paper screens and a quiet atmosphere. You will be welcomed by Ireneu and Oriol, dressed as authentic samurais, ready to teach you the secrets of Japanese martial arts.
Ireneu Rodriguez, one of the instructors, has been involved in martial arts since he was 3 years old and his brother Maurici, another of the ideologists, has accumulated 38 years of experience in dojos.
They also have Sophie Steffen, an expert in the handling of katanas for 11 years. At Samurai Experience, they will not only dress you like a Japanese warrior, but they will also teach you how to cut with a katana.
During your visit, you will have the opportunity to learn how to handle katanas, sticks, knives and bows. In just two to three hours, you will leave with the confidence and elegance of Uma Thurman after her legendary performances in the Kill Bill movies. This experience is unique in Barcelona and offers an immersion into samurai culture that you won’t want to miss.
The Rabies Room at Axerum
Have you ever had such a stressful day that you just wanted to smash something? At Axerum, an alternative leisure center in Vilanova i la Geltrú, you can do just that. You’ll be immersed in a unique experience of its kind: the Rage Room.
Here, you’ll be outfitted with riot helmets, coveralls, gloves and safety boots, preparing you to release your stress in a quite literal way.
In the Room of Rage, you will have at your disposal a variety of breakable objects, such as plates, cups, video cameras, printers and computer towers.
You will wield twisted iron bars and let out all your frustration in a controlled and safe way. This experience is perfect for those moments when you need to let off steam and release accumulated tension.
This concept, known as a “rage room” or “anger room,” comes from Japan and China, where these rage rooms are popular. It has become a global phenomenon, with similar locations in cities around the world. At Axerum, you’ll find a unique and exciting way to unwind after a tiring day.
