Iaido is actually the japanese form of sword fighting where you draw and strike in the same movement. An old samarai turned ronans father was killed so he secluded himself and trained for like months to draw and slash in the same movement so the fight will be finished before the other guys sword is out of his scabbard. He challenged his fathers killer for revenge and took him out with his iaido. Its pretty awsome.
When I did ninjitsu we trained with katana, katana/wakizashi combination, baton, medium staff (approx 3 foot), long staff (approx 6 foot), knife and chain. Pretty interesting.
