Kendo: the way of the sword
“Don’t strike to win, strike after you’ve won.” (Miyamoto Musashi)

Today, this discipline has evolved into a truly modern sport. It focuses on spirituality, combat tactics and swordplay. The benefits of kendo?

Iaido: existing in union with the way
Draw the katana and strike in a single gesture: this is the motto of Iaido.

In ancient times, this was the way for samurai to deal with surprise attacks. Today, this discipline is practiced in a dojo and is closely linked to the notion of “Zen“.

Coordination, meditation, precision… The perfection of movement aligns with the values inculcated by Iaido. It’s a face-to-face duel that demands concentration and self-control. The advantages of this practice? A sharper sense of observation, muscular maintenance, improved posture and awareness of strengths and weaknesses.
