Nihon Butokuin Shizan Iaido
At Nihon Butokuin, students begin with Reiho, followed by zazen and meditation to prepare the mind, and then practice with a sword.
Practice includes kata and shizan.
In kata practice, students learn how to handle the sword and how to use their bodies.
In shizan, students will slash a Karishime with a unified mind and body.
In addition, students will also have a lecture on the Japanese sword, balancing both skill in handling the sword and appreciation of the sword.
