Anybody here take Iaido?

[queedo]

I have taked Eishyn-Ryu Iaido for several years and I really enjoy it. Does anybody else take any forms of Iaido or Kendo?

I have no idea what that even is....well...obviously a martial art,...describe your discipline, what makes it different, from say Jujitsu? I'm interested.

iaido is the art of drawing the sword and making prcise cuts to your opponent. here is a link that will describe it better.

I did a few years back, I haven't had time for it in a long while. I did Muso Shinden Ryu.

I heard there were two new Seitei Kata added?

I have, in the past, but have not been able to go for a while due to too many other hobbies and distractions. I noticed you are from Canton, where do you study? I was learning with the folks up at Cleveland State (now in Mayfield I believe)
