Watch Out When Kendoka Get a Sword

At the end of Yamamoto Sensei's last practice, "sword experts" grabbed an Iaito and the drama began. Kendo uses a bamboo sword. Iaido practice uses a metal sword.

What mischief can we get into?

Under the sword

Catching a sword like you see in the movies

A good death by the sword!

As you can see Iaido practice can add a new dimension to Kendo knowledge, however these expressions of swordsmanship are what happens when you watch too many movies and television shows (Ha!!!).
