Makiba Dojo

Las Vegas Iaido is dedicated to the practice of Araki Mujinsai Ryu Iaido®, a traditional Japanese martial art focused on the techniques of drawing and cutting with the sword. This art emphasizes the precision of movements through kata, which are predetermined sequences that enhance mental focus and physical endurance. Practitioners wear traditional clothing and utilize a blunt practice sword called an iaito. The dojo is committed to maintaining the standards set by the Nippon Meirinkai in Himeji, Japan, and aims to foster a deep understanding of swordsmanship in a supportive environment.
