dojo. Iaido (居合道 Iaidō or just Iai 居合) is a modern Japanese martial art/sport, The term 'iaido' first appeared in 1932. Training in iaido involves the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard or saya, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. While new students of iaido may start learning with a wooden sword (bokken) depending on the teaching style of a particular instructor, most of the practitioners use the blunt edged sword, called iaitō. Few, more experienced, iaido practitioners use a sharp edged sword (shinken). https://www.facebook.com/pages/Iaido/114664348546482 #

Guillaume Demesy, 3rd Dan Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido

Musō Shinden-ryū (夢想神伝流) is a style of sword-drawing art founded by Nakayama Hakudō (中山博道) in 1932. Nakayama Hakudō learned under both Hosokawa Yoshimasa, a master of the Shimomura branch (下村派) of Hasegawa Eishin-ryū, and Morimoto Tokumi, a fellow student of Ōe Masamichi of the Tanimura branch (谷村派). The name Musō Shinden-ryū most likely comes from the name given to the Shimomura branch by Hosokawa, Musō Shinden Eishin-ryū (無雙神傳英信流). https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mus%C5%8D-Shinden-ry%C5%AB/108287655859709 #

" In contrast with the women samurai, the onna bugeisha were trained to protect entire villages and communities, not only the family property, primarily if there was a lack of “manpower.” When everything was well in place, these women remained in the household, also fulfilling the usual roles that women had in the home.

Among his musings: "Maybe my wife is always correct.”
