The Fundamentals of Iaido
Iaido is the art of drawing the sword in order to immediately end the opponent's attack with this one movement - regardless of whether this attack has actually already begun or was only recognizable as a mental intention.
With this work, French martial arts master Roland Habersetzer provides a fundamental work on the art of Iaido. It contains a comprehensive introduction to the history and practice of Japanese sword fighting, a detailed graphic and verbal description of the ceremony (reishiki), the basic techniques (kihon) and the twelve forms of Zen Nippon Kendô Renmei Iai (Seitei-Iai) practiced today, as well as – as a ‘bonus’ – a graphic representation of nine series of Tenshin Shôden Katori Shintô-ryû.
