Eishin-ryū

Eishin-ryū is a traditional Japanese martial art focused on the art of iai, or sword drawing. It emphasizes precise, fluid movements for drawing, cutting, and resheathing the katana, often performed solo or in paired practice. Developed over centuries as a technique for quickly and effectively responding to sudden threats, Eishin-ryū combines breath control, stance, and timing to achieve smooth, efficient movement. It is a respected classical art that also incorporates principles of mindfulness and discipline, aiming to develop both skill and mental clarity through rigorous practice.
