Iaido   is the art of drawing the sword and instantly striking with  it. Training is conducted

using a practice Japanese sword  called an Iaito or a live sword known as a katana.

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.
