Iaido (pronounced ee-eye-do)  is the traditional martial art of Japanese swordsmanship, which evolved from battlefield techniques of feudal Japan into the modern system of movement and poise practiced today. Students learn how to draw and cut with the Japanese sword. Practice is meditative but also rigorous through repetition of a number of ancient forms.

Prospective students of Iaido must receive permission of the Chief Instructor prior to joining.
