Knee pads for the first two katas!!!

Both Iaido and Kendo are related with each other. Both are the study of the Sword art of Japanese. Kendo is the art of fencing and Iaido is the art of drawing the sword. The training of the Kendo is very intense and Iaido is related with the attacking and defending practices.

From experience the art of Iaido is not drawing the sword but the notto (sheathing the sword).

A couple of interesting instructional videos;

Both Kendo and Iaido are linked. Both are Japanese sword art research. Kendo is an art fencing and Iaido is the art of drawing the sword. Kendo training is very intense and Iaido is connected to the attack and defend the practice.

I think Both are related with each other. It is use for study of the Sword art of Japanese.
"Kendo" is the art of fencing and all Japanese martial arts,
"Iaido"is the art of quickly drawing the sword .
