Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this martial arts class:

In the beginner iaido: Siljun Dobup class, students will practice the basics of the form, including proper drawing and re-sheathing of the blade. Students will learn how to execute a proper overhead cut, and will be introduced to the other cutting directions. 

The class will focus on basic mechanics, while maintaining zanshin, or a “remaining mind.”

You should study Iaido if:
You are a mature student who is looking for a meditative, yet physically engaging martial art. You want to learn how to control yourself through perfection of physical and mental presence.

You should try iaido if you like:
The Kill Bill movies, stories about samurai, yoga, or other deep physical and mental conditioning activities.

Important:
Please note that the $10 intro rate is only for a client's first class.

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled class time. Doors close 15 minutes after scheduled class time. Students arriving after this time will not be admitted and the class will be considered a late cancellation.

Question from anonymous
What should I wear?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! Feel free to wear your regular gym clothes to class, and note that we practice barefoot. If you choose to test to increase your rank in Kendo or Siljun Dobup, you will need to purchase a school uniform for the test ($100), and we recommend practicing in the uniform several weeks prior to testing. Hope this is helpful.
