Product Description
Synopsis
Iaido began as an offshoot of kenjutsu, or sword art. The original purpose of iaido was to slay an opponent with one stroke of the sword immediatly after unsheathing; today it is practised as a martial art, one that improves concentration, develops strength and co-ordination and cultivates awareness of another culture and its traditions. The kata, or forms, of modern iaido include drawing, parrying and cutting motions, as well as various ways of returning the sword to its scabbard. This manual of Eishin-Ryu, or Pure Faith iaido teaches the most widely practiced style of the art and is illustrated with step-by-step drawings to help practitioners, from beginners and advanced iaidaka, hone their forms and techniques. Introductory chapters explain the history and evolution of the art, the Japanese sword and related equipment, and the etiquette and code of the samurai.
