The Science of Iai explores the fundamental principles underlying iaido and traditional Japanese swordsmanship, looking beyond the differences between individual schools to examine the mechanics and concepts common to effective sword technique.
The book analyzes subjects such as proper grip, posture, body alignment, movement, timing, sword handling, and the efficient generation and transmission of power. Its emphasis is on understanding why classical techniques work rather than simply memorizing their outward forms.
A useful resource for practitioners interested in the technical and theoretical foundations of iai, kenjutsu, and Japanese sword arts.
