It has been said for many centuries that the Samurai’s sword is his soul. Iaido is the art of self discipline and control through the skilled use of the katana. Through the process of training in Iaido, the student learns that the mind, body, and soul of the practitioner come together as one and the purity of the soul of the student is allowed to flourish. Just as the sword-smith, polisher and warrior bring the katana to life, the art of Iaido forges, polishes and brings the very best attributes and qualities of the student into focus and helps make you the very best person you can become.
