• Truly useful martial arts
• Unlike modern Iaido, which does not compete for "elegance of form," Shushin-ryu Iaijutsu Heiho pursues Iaido as a "martial art that can actually be used." The movements, honed as techniques to defeat the enemy, are completely free of waste and imbued with rationality based on the theory of sword structure and bodily control. Come experience Iaido, which is not "for show" but "for use." This training experience is sure to change your "view of the samurai" and allow you to experience the true essence of martial arts.
• Recommended for Aikido practitioners too! Iai and swordsmanship are the origins of Aikido.
• Aikido, which has spread worldwide as a modern martial art, is deeply influenced by swordsmanship and iaijutsu, among the many ancient martial arts that its founder, Morihei Ueshiba, studied in his youth. The shift in center of gravity and distance associated with the act of drawing the sword, as well as the "principle of the front" (sen no kotowari) that controls the opponent's movements, are all common to iaijutsu and kenjutsu and form the foundation of Aikido's movements. In fact, simply incorporating the concept of "slashing" into Aikido techniques dramatically changes the precision and transmission of force, demonstrating the profound influence of iaijutsu and kenjutsu on Aikido. However, it is important to note that the truth of Aikido cannot be learned from any one iaijutsu or kenjutsu. It is no exaggeration to say that among those currently practicing iaijutsu and kenjutsu, Isao Machii is the only one who can accurately explain and practice the essence that forms the origin of Aikido. By learning the principles of authentic Iai and swordsmanship that he conveys, you will gain insight into the core of Aikido and a deeper understanding of it as a martial art.
