Japanese culture, etiquette and history are all important aspects of Iaido taught at the JCCC. Hence “Iaido” means the path to finding harmony in any situation in which one finds oneself – to be prepared for any eventuality. “I” means to “reside” or “be” in a certain place “AI” means “harmony” and “DO” means “road” or “path”. The name “Iaido” itself is composed of three ideograms “I”, “AI” and “DO”.
It is also an individual art that involves the student and the sword struggling to achieve perfection of form. It is an art of precise motions with only centimetres of tolerance and split second timing. To the casual observer there is not a lot to see, however iaido is an exacting art that demands a high level of focus and mental concentration. The student sits or stands quietly, draws out a blade and cuts through the air all in one motion, then calmly returns the blade to the scabbard. The art of Iaido (ee-eye-doh) appears elegant and simple. In the meantime, online practices are being offered.
