■ What is Iaido?
Iaido is a martial art that originated from Jinsuke Shigenobu Hayashizaki about 450 Year ago. It has been developed as a technique to remove the sword when it is attacked by the enemy without removing the sword and to kill the enemy.
The era of war has ended, and the characteristics of Iaido that can respond flexibly from a state of no combat posture sublimate to the spirit of "non-fighting technology" that does not hurt the opponent unnecessarily, and the enhanced one affects Bushido Has been given.
Iaido is used widely as a martial art that is used by both men and women of all ages to train their mind and body and to lead their daily lives because they use their mind and body reasonably.

The Iaido experience will be held at the Iaido Shinbukan Dojo. The dojo is located next to Iai Shrine, the number one shrine in Japan where the founder of Iaido, Hayashizaki Shigenobu, is enshrined. Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture, is the birthplace of Hayashizaki Shigenobu and is popular as a sacred place for Iaido.

Experienced instructors of Muso Shinden-ryu will teach you kindly and politely from the beginning. You can learn and practice not only the technical aspects of Iaido, but also the actions that can be utilized in daily life, and the spirit of "non-fighting technology."

Iaido is a martial art that anyone, regardless of age or sex, can participate in because it is a technique for rationally manipulating the mind and body and does not rely on muscle strength. Even those who are not confident in their physical strength can easily develop their physical strength and physical balance by repeating daily actions such as "seiza" and "standing". Furthermore, swinging the sword with the whole body improves the muscle strength of the whole body. The practice of Iaido is centered on repeating the "shape" that has been passed down since ancient times. In the process, you can improve your mental strength by acquiring selfishness and training your mental movements such as your imagination against potential enemies and dangers. By gaining this power, you may see yourself a little different from usual.
