Iaido is the art of reacting to a surprise attack by counter attacking with a sword. An in-depth reading of the Japanese characters for iaido is: I = being, AI = harmony, DO = way . "The way of harmonising oneself in actionâ?. The Iaidoka (a practitioner of iaido) wields a sword: not to control the opponent, but to control himself. Iaido is mostly performed solo as a series of Waza. The Iaidoka executes various techniques against single or multiple imaginary opponents. Each Waza begins and ends with the sword sheathed. In ad***ion to sword technique, practitioners require imagination and concentration in order to maintain the feeling of a real fight and to keep the Kata fresh. In order to properly perform the waza, Iaidoka also learn posture and movement, grip, and swing. Iaido is never practised in a free-sparring manner. Iaidoka practice to prepare for a surprise attack, where an immediate, efficient solution to the problem of aggression is necessary. Therefore, the technique is highly refined. Every unnecessary movement is cut away. Technique is simple and direct. The training method is aimed towards development of the practitionerâ?Ts every mental and physical resources. Iaido is an authentic martial art that proved its martial values in a time of constant battle and warfare, that was preserved and passed on directly from teacher to student over generations in an unbroken lineage for 450 years. Iaidoka developed the mind towards an ultimately peaceful, harmonious, and active state ready to react and deal with any life situation. ********************* Shinkendo is a reunification of what the Japanese Samurai once depended upon, and is an amalgamation of several styles of Japanese swordsmanship. Unified, Shinkendo is a historically accurate and comprehensive style of feudal Japanese swordsmanship. Sword training includes Suburi (sword swinging drills), Tanren gata (solo forms), Battoho (combative drawing and cutting methods), Tachiuchi (sword sparring) and Tameshigiri (the cutting of straw and bamboo targets). Training always begins using a Bokuto (wooden sword), and later advances to the level of learning to use an Iaito (imitation sword with dull edge). At more advanced levels, the student begins to practice cutting on Makiwara (soaked Tatami mats), and eventually bamboo using Shinken (real sword). Shinkendo requires rigorous physical training, depth of coordination, and intense focus - but the most important aspect of Shinkendo is the emphasis on spiritual understanding, which brings Bushi Damashii (the Samurai/warrior spirit), and is as relevant now as it was hundreds of years ago
Shinkendo là một môn phái mới thành lập bởi Soke Obata Toshishiro. Ông nầy sanh năm 1948, ngươì Nhật, học Yoshinkan Aikido và sau dó học Iaido từ Nakamura Taizaburo sensei. Nakamura Sensei là Hansin - 10 dan của môn phái Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido (khởi đầu từ thế kỷ thứ 16). Năm 1980, ông ta qua định cư tại Hoa kỳ, đóng trong một số phim ảnh về võ thuật. Ông ta cảm thấy các phái Iaido có vẻ xa rời lối đánh của Samurai không có thực tiển, nên tạo nên môn phái mới. Môn phái nầy tập trung về cách chém nhanh và mạnh bạo, dùng vật liệu để thử nghiệm chiêu thức. Trụ sở trung ương tại Los Angeles, trong khu chợ Nhật (little Tokyo). Sensei Toshishiro mở lớp dạy Aikido và Shinkendo tại đó. Tôi biết chút ít về chuyện nầy vì tôi học Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido từ Esaka sensei ( Hanshi ?" 10 dan) Sensei của tôi hiện nay 82 tuổi, khỏang 1 thế hệ trẻ hơn Sensei Nakamura. http://www.shinkendo.com http://www.iaido.org/pages/esakasensei.html
