Iaido is the art of drawing the sword. Using a Japanese Sword or katana
and through precise and dynamic forms a student can train themselves both
physically and mentally. Training is conducted as solo practice.
The schools or "ryu" of Iaido practiced at Aikido of London are Muso
Shinden Ryu and Shindo Munen Ryu Tachi Iai. Muso Shinden-ryu is an
Iaido koryu or traditional (old) school and has been passed on to and
developed for modern times by Nakayama Hakudo (1869 - 1958). Nakayama
was one of the greatest martial artists of the 20th century. He was a master
of Kendo, Iaido, and Jodo.
Iaido can be practised with Aikido.
