Description

English Wikipedia article on iaijutsu, the combative quick-draw sword technique and one of the koryu disciplines of the classical warrior. Notes the term emerged from earlier sword-drawing practice (with battojutsu as an older name), its counter-attack orientation, Draeger's two starting postures (iai-goshi, tachi-ai), and the koryu schools that include iaijutsu (Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu, Suio-ryu, Mugai-ryu, Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu, Hoki-ryu and others). States that iaijutsu preceded and coexists with the modern form iaido (term first appearing in 1932).
