Distance, Blade Path, Angles, and Mental Strength There are techniques that can only be understood through cutting.

Iaido is a martial art that uses the Japanese sword, emphasizing the actual act of "cutting". True sword cutting cannot be achieved if there is any disturbance in one's mind or technique. In other words, one's skill can only be truly understood through the act of cutting. Only by mastering the subtleties of distance, blade path, angles, and maintaining an undisturbed mental strength can one truly "cut".

This DVD meticulously selects footage from the international tournament of the International Batto-Do Federation, inheriting the techniques of Nakamura Taisaburo Soke, renowned as a sword saint of the Showa era.
