Japanese Iaido is the art of Samurai Swordsmanship. It is very deeply rooted in tradition, discipline of the mind and body and respect. You will start the program working with a wood bokken learning the various cuts and techniques. Only after many months of training and the instructors approval will you then move to training with a live blade.


There is no “rank” associated with this art, only levels of proficiency and experience that are represented through the traditional Japanese headband worn by the student.


The class is taught by Master Leonard Rycerz from Wheeling, WV.
