They mean the same thing.) dojo in Minneapolis though. There is one Koryu Iaido(Same as battojutsu.
Anything after that, is generally considered Gendai budo. Koryu are the old Japanese swordarts developed before 1876, with a direct link to Japan. It is lots of fun! There is no authentic Koryu Kenjutsu in Minnesota anywhere. Kendo is a Japanese sword art that is derived from Kenjutsu. There are three Kendo dojos, one of which is mine, and our dojo is on hiatus due to a lack of practice space. Please feel at home here, and remember to LOOK FIRST, READ A BIT, **THEN** ASK OR RESPOND. (and some people will tell you there ISN'T a difference, but that's another story ), look around here for a while. If you want to know the differences between iai, batto, etc. when you find a good teacher, they'll explain THAT one!) (In other words, I knew, but I DIDN'T KNOW.

I didn't put enough hard work in, and I lost in that aforementioned Tai Kai though I KNEW what forms to do and how to cut. contrary to The Last Samurai and other movies, wielding a "real sword" is not easy and is not cheap. Rather than give you advise in what's best to study, let me make a suggestion: think about what you WANT, and see if it's available. Nice people up there (in the cold country. Just saw one here in Orlando at the 2004 Orlando Tai Kai (Sword Tournament). There are a few folks who teach JSA (Japanese Sword Arts) in MN. Also, if something from a moderator says READ, do us a favor and read it. If you are new to the sword arts, please review the many threads here (click on the links). It's a forum rule that you have to sign posts with your "real name." It helps us out, and makes it easier to avoid problems. Just so you know, someone will probably suggest that you give us your first name or something, so we can properly address you. I usually make phone orders now, since the staff are so very friendly and helpful.Hi, and welcome to the forums. My Sensei and Fellow Fuku Shidoin really enjoyed the balance as well. I truly enjoy the feel and balance of it. I received my Iaito a few weeks ago, I have not been able to leave it alone.
This iaito has a very good feel when cutting, due to it's lighter than usual nature.Ī good by, especially if you are starting off in iaido.Ģ of 2 people found the following review helpful:īrent Hatcher from Smyrna, TN United States I received this iaito today and I must say I am quite delighted! I am a beginner in Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu and look forward to using this new pearl to practice!ĭaniel Low from Glen Waverley, Victoria Australia Recommend for anyone switching from wood bokken to iaito!ġ of 1 people found the following review helpful: I am much more in control with this light weight iaito. The swords I have tried at my dojo was much heavier and unwieldy. I'm a beginner in Iaido and this has been a very good sword for me.
The fittings are not in the category of my custom iaito, but the blade appears very similar in quality and the overall quality is much better than the $250 swords I have seen other students use.ģ of 3 people found the following review helpful: The saya and sageo are a little lower grade, but what I expected. The wrapping is cotton and is what I expected. I purchased this iaito from e-bogu and mine weighs 1.7 pounds and the blade itself is much nicer than I expected. I also study Kumdo and wanted a shorter (2.35 length) sword that costs less and would be more suitable for some of the Kumdo kata. I purchased a custom iaito from the Swordstore that I really enjoy and use in my Japanese iaito class - weighs 2.2 pounds (2.45 length), has custom fittings, silk wrapping, silk sageo, custom tsuba, and a nice saya. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:
