| Two years later, I began studying aikido, and two years after that I began studying kendo and iaido. |
| This is why iaido is more popular than iaijutsu and kendo is more popular than kenjutsu. |
| Next to kyudo, iaido is probably the most esoteric martial art form. |
| During the next seven years I did mainly judo and jodo, and a number of other martial arts such as aikido, iaido, karate, and t'ai chi ch'uan. |
| Aikido, kyudo and iaido allow almost religious experiences in the focus and flow of executing techniques. |
| It is a fact that karate, judo, kendo, and iaido are much easier to learn than aikido. |
