What Is Iaido?
Put simply, Iaido is the way of drawing the sword. The lineage of Iaido that we practice here is called Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū (無雙直傳英信流), a koryū sword art, and one of the most widely practiced schools of iaido in the world. Today, it is practiced by two to three thousand people in Japan, and has exponents around the world. Iaido is an authentic martial art that proved its martial values in a time of constant battle and warfare, that was preserved and passed on directly from teacher to student over generations in an unbroken lineage for 450 years.
Who We Are
We are a small community of practitioners studying under the auspices of the Japanese Headquarters of Eishin Ryu Iaido (Ippan Shadan Houjin Seitou Seiryu Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido Kokusai Renmei), of which we are under the direct supervision of Kobara Kenichi sensei, 8th Dan Hanshi.
