Tamishigiri… oh so cool

Part of the martial art Iaido (drawing the blade) is understanding tamishigiri (cutting technique).
Iaido is a really facinating martial art that differs from Kendo because in Iai, you don’t go against an opponent and you use a blade as opposed to shinai (bamboo sword). I encourage you to look into it. Here is a video my sensei edited and posted. Hope you like it.

Ha ha ha, I was about to ask Alex if it was a “gaijin-only” marial art.
My favorite is the fat guy.

a fellow kenshi of mine told me that taking iaido has improved his kendo and vice versa. It’s really cool to see these guys in action
