  • First Encounter with Iai in Japan, the Days of Sword-Wielding Battles Are A
    PROMENADE In Japan, the days of sword-wielding battles are a thing of the past. However, one of the techniques of wielding swords is being passed on from generation to generation. It is iaido (iai for short), the art of drawing a sword in one stroke to cut down the opponent or ward off an attack. “Why use a sword in this peaceful era?” you may ask. However, iai does not train people to kill one another. Iai is being handed down because one of its purposes is to train the soul – a world of great depth. First Encounter with Iai States also participated. I was filled with anticipation because it was hard to imagine how these people, so different in statures and looks, Recently, I had a chance to see a demonstration of iai for the first would perform with a Japanese sword, dressed in traditional formal time. Even in Japan, not so many people watch iai demonstrations Japanese attire – a kimono with a family crest and a full-length, unless they are particularly interested. Even though I took some pleated and divided skirt worn over it. lessons in kendo (Japanese swordsmanship) when I was a child, I I learned that these people practice in five southwestern cities in had nothing to do with iai except that my grandfather, Osamu the United States – Phoenix (Arizona), Lancaster and Austin (both Toyoda, was a master of iai. Kendo and iai are on the same line of California), Las Vegas (Nevada), and El Paso (Texas). And there are Japanese martial arts featuring the use of swords, but a real sword is also many women practitioners.

  • About Zen Bu Kan
    About Zen Bu Kan Zen Bu Kan is an iaido dojo of the Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu lineage located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Zen Bu Kan was started by Jules Harris Sensei. Having studied in New York, Harris Sensei moved to Utah to study Zen at the renowned Kanzeon Zen Center in Salt Lake City. A scholar, warrior, and spiritual leader; Harris Sensei taught without thought of personal gain, only to pass on the lineage. He moved back East, to Pennsylvania, to further his spiritual studies. Zen Bu Kan is now led by his students Jason Hankins Sensei and Dick Beckstead Sensei. More recently, Zen Bu Kan has begun to teach kendo under the direction of Robert Stroud Sensei, 7th dan renshi. Stroud Sensei leads a dojo in Boise, Idaho, and serves as a kendo mentor and instructor to Zen Bu Kan’s sensei. Iaido students at Zen Bu Kan begin by learning the basic fundamentals of iaido. Having learned the fundamentals, students then begin to learn the twelve Seitei kata. The Seitei kata are the standard by which iaido practitioners (iaidoka) world-wide begin their training and upon which they are tested. Eventually, students move on to learn the Omori-Ryu and Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu kata. Zen Bu Kan does not operate for profit and is solely supported by its students at cost. This allows the school to keep the price of tuition to a minimum, but it also means that the school is heavily dependant upon its students to remain in operation. The students form both the body and the support staff of the school.

  • International Ryukyu Kobudo Federation
    International Ryukyu Kobudo Federation N A T I O E R N T A N L I RYUKYU F E KOBUDO N D O E R A T I Ryukyu Kobudo is the practice of martial arts weapons that developed in the Ryukyu Islands. The Ryukyu Islands are a chain of islands extending southwest from the southern end of Kyushu Island in Japan. Notable islands include Okinawa and Hama Higa Islands. The kata names originate from the Kyushu island or village where they s nd developed, or from the master that is sla u I ky credited with the kata. yu R Okinawa Short History Okinawa is the largest island in the Ryukyu Island chain. Both Japanese and Chinese settlers have been there since around 300 BC. By 1340 AD. three kingdoms exist in the Ryukyu Islands, Hokuzan, Chuzan, and Nazan. These three kingdoms are at war with each other for dominance of the island chain. It is at this time that trade begins with China. In 1393 AD. China sends a large group of people to Okinawa as part of the cultural exchange. Included in this group are monks from the Shaolin Temple. This begins the combination of Shaolin Kung Fu with Okinawan Te. In 1429 AD. The Ryukyu Islands are united under one king. The kingdom prospers due to the trade with all of Asia. In 1447 AD. King Sho Shin bans all weapons from civilians to keep the peace. This is the first “Weaponless Period”. In 1609 AD. the Satsuma clan invades the Ryukyu Islands and captures the King.
