Boston Iaido

Boston Iaido is dedicated to the practice of Iaido, the traditional Japanese art of drawing and using the sword. Rooted in the ancient Samurai tradition, Iaido emphasizes mental discipline, awareness, and the harmony of mind and body through precise movements. Practitioners learn various techniques that simulate combative scenarios, focusing on the mastery of both the sword and self. The dojo follows the Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu style, which boasts a lineage of approximately 450 years, making it one of the oldest martial arts in Japan. Founded in 2003, Boston Iaido is an official dojo of the World MJER Iaido Federation and celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, continuing the legacy of this profound art form.
