Iaido is the traditional Japanese martial art focused upon the method of drawing and cutting with the Samurai sword. It is one of Japan's oldest warrior arts, going back 450 years. Modern Iaido training focuses on development of mental disciple through control of body and sword movements. There is no contact, and we do not compete against one another. Forms, or waza, are performed individually, against an imagined opponent, in order to develop balance and coordination. All levels welcome.
