Our iaido class did some paper cutting today. Even though we train with unsharpened swords, proper technique and form can still result in a true cut on paper. This exercise tells you a lot about technique, angle, and form! Special thanks to member Frank for donating paper for our use!

If you are interested in Iaido, we offer weekly classes alongside our kendo classes, as well!

Not only did they get to meet and train with the legendary Furukawa Sensei and Yano Sensei but with hundreds of other kendoka from around the country. Thank you to all of our friends, old and new, for the pictures, the training, and the memories. Until next year!
