About Iaido


Iaido and Kendo are two sides of the same coin. The difference between the two is that Kendo uses Shinai and wears Bogu to fight against opponents while Iaido is a solo practice with the imaginary opponent(s) based on specific situations. When practicing Iaido, not only do you require sophisticated techniques but you also have to combine many imaginations to express the meaning of the katas, in order to achieve the purpose of honing skills and minds. Like Kendo, Iaido emphasizes etiquette, it must begin with etiquette and end with etiquette.

There are many different schools of iai with completely different techniques and forms (or katas). HKKA practices Seitei iai formulated by All Japan Kendo Federation as a foundation training.
