21. IAIDO Muso Shinden Ryu and Hoki Ryu http://web.inter.nl.net/users/A.A.G.Schiebroek/iaido/iaido.html

I aido has very old roots in the Japanese martial arts.In the latter half of the fifteenth century, Izasa Ienao founded the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu, a school that devised the dynamic art of iai-jutsu. There were over 200 ryu (~school) founded that are primarily concerned with sword-drawing techniques in the afterglow of this amazing and inspirational man. Iaido was formed only after World War II when a series of ten kata (~forms) were chosen, out of four koryu, called seitei kata. Iaido is a way of defending and attacking with a real sword. You can see it as an equivalent of the cowboy’s fast gunfighting. Iaido is most performed in kata in which attack and defence are prescribed. Because of the danger of injuries, iaido is practised single with a imaginary opponent. The sword was seen as the soul of the samurai and was therefore a sacred and very respectable weapon. In our school Muso Shinden Ryu and Hoki Ryu are the two ryu mainly practised. Would You like to watch a iaido movie? Click to dwonload (622K .mpg)

Release form Iaido courses offer a very functional and motivating approach to the age-old art of the Japanese sword. This course will teach you the eight basic Toyama-Iai-Batto-Do patterns used by the Japanese military to quickly and efficiently train thousands of soldiers. Shihan Dana Abbott's iaido sword instruction program begins with a wooden sword and advances through various stages of learning until the time wood is exchanged for steel. The usage of the steel blade will further enhance sword drawing, cutting and sheathing techniques. Reference: The Samurai Sword: Introduction and Application Nakamura-ryu is an 8-kata series that closely follows the Japanese Military Toyama-Ryu series but puts emphasis on test cutting (tameshigiri). These forms, movements and cutting techniques employ the basic 8 patterns called Happo-giri, which imitate the strokes of a calligraphy brush. This nakamura-ryu kata series includes unsheathing the blade from different angles; executing upward and downward diagonal, vertical and horizontal cuts; chiburi/ cleaning the blade, and re-sheathing the sword using various patterns. The nakamura kata creates a strong cutting foundation. Kodachi-Iai employs a set of ten short sword or kodachi kata. These ten solitary short sword forms consist of many gendai (modern) and koryu (classical) movements. Short sword techniques follow the same lines and cutting patterns as most long swords. Kodachi Iai forms were designed to understand the complexity of being ambidextrous with a one-handed short sword.

Both the arts of Kendo and Iaido can be defined in this "Concept of Kendo" established by the All Japan Kendo Federation in 1975: The purpose of practicing Kendo is: To mold the mind and body, To cultivate a vigorous spirit through correct and rigid training, To strive for improvement in the art of kendo, To hold in esteeem human courtesy and honor, To associate with others with sincerity, And to forever pursue the cultivation of oneself.

Home Iaido Kenbu Dojo ... Contact Iaido In ancient Japan the need to be able to defend oneself from a sudden attack led to the development of techniques to quickly draw the sword from its saya (scabbard). Thus Iai was born. There are several different ryu (styles/schools) of Iaido. At Kenshin Dojo in Phoenix, Arizona we study Araki Ryu Iaido, founded by Araki Mujinsai Minamotono Hidetsuna over 400 years ago. Araki Mujinsai had many disciples, four who formed their own schools: Araki Shingorou Muraharu followed his teachings in the path now known as Araki Mujinsai Ryu Iaido. This is the Iaido that we study at Kenshin Dojo. Other disciples include Mori Kasuminosuke Katsushige (Araki Ryu Kenpou - found in Isezaki, Gunma prefecture), Nakamura Daizou Yukiharu (Takenouchi Santon Ryu), Araki Buzaemon Hisakatsu (Araki Ryu Gunyoukogusoku - found in Yokohama, Kanagawa prefecture and includes the study of Iaido, yari, and nagamaki).

About Eishinkai Practice Iaido Jodo Info What is iaido? History ... Necessary equipment What is iaido? Iaido is the art of drawing the sword from its scabbard and using it to fend off an attack. It is one of Japanese martial arts that probably has the largest amount of misconceptions regarding it. Some see it as an archaic and rather useless system of fencing, others tend to use it as a kind of moving meditation. Iaido can be all that and more. Historically speaking, the role of iaido's predecessor, iaijutsu , in a warrior's training was twofold: first, it gave him the opportunity to train with a real sword ( shinken ) without worrying about fatally injuring the partner or, worse still, the teacher; and second, it introduced the techniques useful when one had to attack or defend oneself without a chance to draw the sword out of its scabbard beforehand. Thus iaido was more of an auxiliary discipline to kenjutsu, or fencing proper. battojutsu ). Others prefer to treat it as a way of self-improvement through better control and understanding of their body and the sword for them is primarily an instrument to attain this goal. Iaido by itself allows for both of these approaches and each practicioner is free to decide what's best for them. 1930-s and was popularized by the famous swordsman Nakayama Hakudo. There are, however, many different names that have been used for the art of sword drawing, most of them using the characters
