The forms are deceptively easy looking,– much of this art is subtle or hidden. Practice develops the practitioner physically and mentally by developing physical strength, especially in the legs and hips, as well as enhancing awareness, posture, poise, focus, calmness, and centeredness. Practitioners spend years in intense training with the imaginary opponent to achieve direct and highly efficient action. Today as then the emphasis is on control and precision of the sword, and to develop and strengthen the character and ‘heart’ (kokoro) of the practitioner. The lineage of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu goes back about 450 years to the founder Hayashizaki Jinsuke Minamoto no Shigenobu.
Iaido is one of Japan’s oldest koryu (old style) martial arts, with many different ryu (styles) surviving to this day. This is training for being mentally and physically prepared at all times. The literal meaning of I-AI can be roughly rendered as I – ‘being/exist”, and AI – ‘be together/meet/fit’,– a subtle reference to the deeper meaning of relations before as well as during conflict. It also involves the body and the mind working together to make the sword effective. Training involves more than just swinging the sword. The situations presented in the waza may include multiple opponents, obstacles, and different starting positions (sitting or standing). Practitioners train in various situations mainly via solo waza that start with the sword in the sheath.

Lastly, check that that the hem on the side of the do and the hem on the side of the odare is in a straight line. After bringing the strings to the front, lift the odare and tie the strings in a bowknot, then lower the tare. You fit the tare around your lower stomach, and bring the strings round your body once.
The hand padding type is more solid and looks from beautiful. Like other equipment, the tare has a hand padding type and a sewing machine type. Tare decorations not only increased the sense of luxury but actually strengthen the tare and prevent it from going out of shape. Some odare have decorations such as kumogata (cloud pattern). The organization name is written at the top horizontally, and the name of the player is written below that vertically. The name card must be written in dark blue or white. The name of the player or the organization the player belongs to is written on a name card and fitted on the odare in the center of the tare.
It is made of cloth to allow smoother movement around the waist. The tare consists of 3 big flaps called odare and 2 smaller ones called kodare. The tare absorbs the impact, and allows for safer practice. Often when you try and strike the do you can miss and strike the hips.
