This discipline emphasizes precision, timing, and mental focus, allowing practitioners to develop both physical and mental skills. Training in Iaido often involves solo forms called kata, which simulate combat scenarios. Practitioners learn to execute techniques with proper posture and breathing, fostering a deep connection with their sword, typically a katana. Iaido-ka often participate in competitions and demonstrations, showcasing their mastery of this traditional art.
