Iaido is a Japanese martial art that utilizes katanas. It specifically works to develop a harmonious and calm spirit in practitioners, a factor important for the development of a good warrior. Unlike other martial arts/exercises, iaido features many slow movements and requires a lot of concentration & attention to detail.
In my research, I learned that iaido is a modern variant of another sword technique called iaijutsu, which was designed as a defense technique. It was formed by studying different forms of surprise attacks. Today, there are many different forms (kata) of iaido that are practiced, as well as a variety of schools and organizations worldwide.
I am really looking forward to this event!
