A Japanesemartial art associated with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard.
Examples
A group of Japanese drummers, karate, aikido, kendo, sumo, Iaido, judo sportsmen, as well as cosplay artists will perform at the event.
Iaido and kyudo are perhaps the best vehicles of the Japanese martial arts for meditative contemplation because of their essentially solitary nature.
It is a fact that karate, judo, kendo, and iaido are much easier to learn than aikido.
Next to kyudo, iaido is probably the most esoteric martial art form.
Aikido, kyudo and iaido allow almost religious experiences in the focus and flow of executing techniques.
This is why iaido is more popular than iaijutsu and kendo is more popular than kenjutsu.
