Japanese Swordsmanship (Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu)

Enrichment Classes / Fitness / Adult -
Fall 2025

(Age 18+) Step into the world of the samurai with Iaijutsu, a traditional Japanese sword art that hones both body and mind through the practice of drawing, cutting, and precision movement with the katana. This disciplined and meditative martial art builds focus, control, and strength while immersing students in centuries-old techniques. Beginners are welcome—loaner equipment is available for new students, though knee pads are recommended. For those continuing their journey, equipment costs apply after the initial session of study. Unleash your inner warrior and experience the power of Iaijutsu!

Taught by James Russell (Gennestu) - 6th degree, Jokyo
