From among the many sword schools existing at these times it was one of his pupils who was chosen as a teacher to the Tokugawa shogun. It was made known by the samurai Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu (1549-1621). The oldest name for Iaido is “Battojutsu” meaning “the art of drawing the sword”. Synonyms of Iaido are “Batto” and “Iainuki”. Iaido belongs to the Budo disciplines of the warrior caste of old Japan, the samurai. He keeps a fight under control, he affects distance, position and surroundings to his advantage. As a result the Iaido master does not get into a fight in the first place. Iai itself determines a fight, be it as a reaction to the circumstances or by avoiding all aggressive influences. The true art of Iaido however, is the total awareness and consciousness of one’s being and of the given situation.
