Iaido: Katana Martial Art #japan #martialarts #katana #iaido

"Iaido it's not about cut or kill"
In certain case yes : it's about killing your ego by cuting him in half.
That's why wee have imaginary oponent : The oponent is just a reflect of your ego you facing in a fight.

I love practicing iaido! It is a beautiful and powerful art!

I love iaido..i grew up watching ninja movies and then found samurai movies and so loved the aesthetic of hakama and shinkin.. but then doing iaido i realise it fits in with my buddhist pracrice to be present in the moment.. and to cut down the enemy (one's own ego). Beauty in simplicity... Tho it is far from simple to perfect hehe

I get that Iaido is not about fighting, but hear me out. What if you did use it for self defense? I bet it would work well.

Anyone know what the difference is bt iaido and iaijutsu? In terms of physical practice. I know do is way and is more meditative and jutsu is art and more about attacking your enemies. I want to know the differences in form. Like the difference bt kendo and kenjutsu is vastly different. Whats the practical difference of iaido and iaijutsu?

All sword martial arts more relevant then ever it doesn't matter if you use a longsword katana or dagger the practice of the blade is for one purpose honing ones skills to protect their family

That's why Iaijutsu is better! 😆 (Just kidding, don't @ me)
