What is SASSEN?

A next-generation digital sport that uses IT to recreate the serious battle of samurai in modern times.

If you hit any part of the body other than the head, it will become one, and the app will judge the hit. SASSEN sword was patented on December 22, 2016 (No. 6062592 “Sports engagement device”)
The winner is the “first two” or “the one with the most runs within the 60 seconds of competition time”. Each player can attack up to 5 swings (5 strokes), and after that they can only defend, so they also have the aspect of a mental game where they have to think about how to make the most of the limited attack opportunities. It was born out of the desire to create an event that everyone who plays, watches, and supports can understand and enjoy. Click here for more information about SASSEN https://sassen.jp/about/

The number of participants has increased from 2,500 to 8,000 (as of April 1, 2023), and we can expect heated competition this year as well.
