Glendale, CA – The Martial Arts History Museum is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of one of its most popular and sought-after events: the Samurai Sword Lecture with renowned History Channel expert, Rafael Kosche (Ancient Aliens, A&E, Auction Kings). On Friday, September 13, 2025 at 5 p.m., this is your final opportunity to attend a lecture on the samurai sword by the museum's special representative and unlock the hidden history behind one of the world's most iconic and revered weapons.
Crafted in the 12th century, the samurai sword is more than a weapon; it is a masterpiece of engineering, a work of art, and a powerful symbol of the ancient Japanese warrior. While its legendary reputation is known worldwide, its deeper story remains a mystery to many. This is not a demonstration, but a unique, immersive, and fascinating lecture that will reveal everything you've ever wanted to know about the katana—from its creation and the forging process to its use in battle and its enduring place in modern culture. You will learn why this particular weapon holds such a special place in history and why it continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
Following the lecture, Kosche will personally evaluate swords brought in by attendees at no additional cost. This is a rare and invaluable opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to get an expert opinion on their own blades and learn if they hold historical or monetary value.
As an added bonus, the event will feature a special raffle from Musashi Swords, who will also have a booth on-site for those interested in purchasing their own high-quality blade. This is a special treat for all who attend.
Due to the overwhelming demand for the last event, which drew a near sold-out crowd, we are expecting a large turnout. We strongly encourage you to arrive early to secure your spot for this final, can't-miss event. Don't miss this last chance to unlock the secrets of the samurai sword and learn from a true expert!
