Is the pen mightier than the sword?

European Gold Medallist Fay Goodman travels to Japan to acquire the exceptionally high grade of 7th Dan Black belt in the art of Iaido (The Way of the Samurai Sword). Fay is also an author, poet and music composer. Such accomplishments would not be unusual for the Master Samurai of ancient Japan, who where well-versed in theatre, poetry, painting and writing.

As we follow Fay on her grading journey to Japan, our western eyes gain a deep insight into the culture of the east - a culture which ever more influences our daily lives in this time of globalisation. This observational documentary explores the synergy between two cultures, and reveals how we can empower ourselves to reach beyond our perceived goals by learning from the ancient traditions of others. How the beauty of the sword, bound by layers of quality steel, also binds together as one the mind, body and spirit of the modern day Samurai warrior.
After lifetime of hard, dedicated training, and flying half way around the world, Fay has just six minutes to prove to the judges she is worthy of achieving her 7th Dan. Will she succeed?

NEWS – WINNER!

Part of the beauty of practising with the sword is that it encourages great creativity. Like with the traditional Samurai who were well versed in art, poetry and music so too do we wish to share with you the spirit of our creativity.
