Iai-Jutsu 居合術
Iai-Jutsu is the "Profound Quick Draw" method of the Samurai Sword. In general, Iai-Jutsu concerns itself with the techniques of drawing (Nuki-dashi), deblooding (Chibuti) and sheathing (Noto) the Samurai sword in a quick and safe manner. A student of Iai-Jutsu is expected to execute techniques from a seated/standing position or while charging at an opponent.
Ken-Jutsu 剣術
Ken-Jutsu is a system of Samurai Sword fighting. It includes a variety of cuts, blocks, parries and evasive movements. Similar to Iai-Jutsu, there is a complete system of falling, rolling, and sword disarming techniques that is integral to the practice. A student of Ken-Jutsu utilizes the Katana (live-blade), Bokken (oak, Samurai Sword-like replica) and Suburito (oak, heavier version of the Bokken) as a real sword was intended to be used by a Samurai.
