Ann Arbor Dojo Can Teach You Japanese Swordsmanship

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Feb. 7, 2023 - PRLog -- Are you interested in broadening your study of martial arts to include sword arts?

Do you feel drawn to the grace and power of Japanese swordsmanship?

Japanese swordsmanship is an ancient art and discipline heralding back to the samurai of feudal Japan. Over the years, the art of swordsmanship grew into many different styles and schools. The art of the sword is often referred to collectively as kenjutsu, but you'll also see kenjutsu taught as a type of swordsmanship. You'll find that different schools or dojos teach different types of swordsmanship. Some popular types include:

• Iaido – a self-disciplined form with a focus on form and technique that requires controlled movements, determination, and discipline. It focuses on form and technique, not on combat.
• Iaijutsu – similar to iaido but combative
• Kenjutsu – a combative form taught using drills in pairs
• Kendo – similar to kenjutsu but can be practiced alone

Those are only short descriptions of a few popular types of swordsmanship. The history and techniques of Japanese swordsmanship are more complicated and are best learned with some context. The best way to learn is to do!

Japanese Martial Arts Center teaches the art of iaido, led by Nicklaus Suino Sensei, four-time All-Tokyo Champion.
