Although the waza represent combative encounters, the deeper purposes of iaido are to develop mental discipline, awareness, and mental and physical harmony through practice and control of body and sword movements. Iaido consists of a number of techniques, or waza, that represent combative situations where generally one or more opponents initiate an attack. Iaido was practiced by the ancient Samurai for centuries. Iaido, the Way of the Sword, is the art of drawing and using the traditional Japanese sword.
