With Iaido we learn to draw the sword as fast as possible and to retaliate with a counter attack against one
or multiple adversaries.
Thus Iaido is complete martial art,
it is the ideal complement for Kendo.
The kata, predefined movements, practiced on your own are the basis for the techniques used in Iaido. These exercises
are practiced with a copy or a real sword, they are totally inoffensive.
Iaido develops the coordination between body and movements.
And more, augments the ability of concentration of the participant. Certainly it seems the same as a form of
"active" meditation.
