Kendo (Japanese fencing), one of the traditional arts passed on from generation-to-generation in Japan, is now enjoyed by large numbers of followers around the world. In other words, iaido has come to be pursued as a means of self-refinement and self-development. But today, it is referred to as, ‘The path for spiritual strength through training in sword lore’. During the samurai era, members of the warrior class trained in this discipline as a means of developing their fencing skills. Iaido is a martial art based on use of the Japanese sword ( nihonto), said by many to comprise the origin of all martial arts in Japan.
