Welcome in the Iaido martial arts store!

Iaido is the art of swift drawing of the sword and contra-attack in one fluid movement, in response to an unforeseen attack from an opponent. The purpose of mastering this art in ancient Japan was to train in self defence in case of a sudden attack during everyday activities.

The effectiveness of the defence in such a situation was primarily dependent on the exactness and precision of judging distance, an intuitive perception of the direction of the attack and the perfection of the execution of the technique, requiring an intimate and  complete mind-body unification.
 
Similarly to other traditional Japanese martial arts containing the element "do", which means "way", in their name, the purpose of training in this martial art is not to learn to kill but for spiritual growth and development. It provides a "way" for constant growth and development of the mind-body unification, and the perfection of gracefulness of movements, technique and inner harmony.
