Japanese swordsmanship is an ancient art and discipline heralding back to the samurai of feudal Japan. It still encompasses the reverence the samurai felt for the sword. Over the years, the art of swordsmanship grew into many different styles and schools. 

The art of the sword is often referred to collectively as kenjutsu, but you’ll also see kenjutsu taught as a type of swordsmanship. You’ll find that different schools or dojos teach different types of swordsmanship. Some popular types include:

  • Iaido
  • Iaijutsu 
  • Kenjutsu 
  • Kendo
