居合道 IAIDO

- Way of mental presence and immediate reaction

​

CONCEPT

Iaido encompasses hundreds of styles of swordsmanship, all of which subscribe to non-combative aims and purposes. Iaido is an intrinsic form of Japanese modern budo.

​

PURPOSE

Iaido is a reflection of the morals of the classical warrior and aims to build a spiritually harmonious person possessed of high intellect, sensitivity, and resolute will.

 

Iaido is for the most part performed solo as an issue of kata, executing changed strategies against single or various fanciful rivals. Every kata starts and finishes with the sword sheathed.

 

Notwithstanding sword method, it obliges creative ability and fixation to keep up the inclination of a genuine battle and to keep the kata new.
