Designed to supplement formal training, this guide bridges the gap when instructor access is limited, making it an essential resource for dedicated martial artists seeking mastery in iaido and kenjutsu. ## Description To become an expert swordsman, one must pay close attention to detail, be highly self-critical, and practice diligently every day under the guidance of a good teacher. Unfortunately, contact time with a worthy mentor is limited for most. Practice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship fills this obvious gap in the training of the modern swordsman by providing bokuto (wooden sword) drills to supplement the formal class activity of forms practice. Both single and two-person drills are presented, some common to iaido and kenjutsu, others extracted from iaido forms by the author and used to teach his own students the proper ways of drawing, parrying, and cutting. Each drill is illustrated with step-by-step drawings to help students hone their techniques; together they provide a comprehensive system of general skills development for anyone interested in using the Japanese sword. Review: Aiido - A very useful book for people interested in Japanese martial arts but particularly those with an interest in aiido and aijutsu Review: Good Book! - Good book on sword techniques but don't be fooled, you do require actual sword training you cannot learn proper form and execution of techniques from a book! Just use as a guideline, join a Katori shinto ryu club ;) ## Features - Weatherhill ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 423,547 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 38 in Fencing (Books) 953 in Martial Arts (Books) 1,040 in Fitness Training | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 576 Reviews | ## Images ![Practice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship: Iaido - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qI-WrZfyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aiido *by M***N on 7 July 2025* A very useful book for people interested in Japanese martial arts but particularly those with an interest in aiido and aijutsu ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Book! *by D***2 on 26 May 2016* Good book on sword techniques but don't be fooled, you do require actual sword training you cannot learn proper form and execution of techniques from a book!
