Iaido
Iai is a combative quick-draw sword technique that used to be at the core of the classical warrior's military education in medieval Japan.
Practitioners perform strikes by drawing the sword out of its sheath from a sitting or walking position.
Enjoy a demonstration of the Tameshigiri - the cutting of rolled tatami mats in a single stroke - and try your hand with a genuine sharpened sword under the master's expert guidance.
"These smooth and distinct motions represent the true essence of the Samurai."
