Iaidoka develops the mind towards an ultimately peaceful, harmonious, and active state ready to react and deal with any life situation. Since Aikido was derived from a sword-based system, Aikido students will find that studying Iaido deepens their understanding of Aikido practice.*** **** ***** ***** # **** Tempe, AZ **/**** **** COOK, NIMARCO’S PIZZA. 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. The training method is aimed towards development of the practitioner’s every mental and physical resources. Therefore, the technique is highly refined. Practitioners prepare for a surprise attack, where an immediate, efficient solution to the problem of aggression is necessary.

Iaido is never practiced in a free-sparring manner with a real sword. In order to properly perform the waza, iaidoka also learn posture and movement, grip, and cut. In addition to sword technique, practitioners require imagination and concentration in order to maintain the feeling of a real fight and to keep the kata (series of specific movements) fresh. Each waza begins and ends with the sword sheathed. The iaidoka executes various techniques against single or multiple imaginary opponents. Iaido is mostly performed solo as a series of waza (technique), and as the student of Iaido progresses they can begin training with the bokken for the actual application of the kata.

The iaidoka (practitioner of Iaido) wields a sword, not to control the opponent, but to control oneself. An in-depth reading of the Japanese characters for Iaido is: I (being), AI (harmony), DO (way) or “The way of harmonizing oneself in action”. In studying Iaido (居合道), one will learn how to properly draw and wield a Japanese sword. Southland Aikido practices Muso Shinden-Ryu, an Iaido style founded by Hakudo Nakayama.
