	Iaijutsu - L5r: Legend of the Five Rings - a Wikia wiki
		Iaijutsu is a martial art that trains the motions associated with drawing a katana from its sheath, striking an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then re-sheathing the katana with smooth, controlled movement.
		Iaijutsu is the standard technique for duels within Rokugan and a signature trait of trained duelists, such as the Kenshinzen.
		In iaijutsu, the sword begins sheathed and the emphasis is on the initial strikes, while in kenjutsu, the sword begins unsheathed, and the emphasis is on both attack and defense.

	Kashiwa Dojo - London & Ramsgate
		Iaijutsu, the art of drawing and cutting with the blade, was seen as an art in it's own right and was practiced in parallel with Kenjutsu.
		Iaijutsu (today's Iaido) was developed for encounters in daily life where the sword would be drawn and used against one or more adversaries, the aim being to dispatch the opponent with the first (or at most second) strike.
		There were many schools of Iaijutsu and as such there were a variety of techniques, methods of striking, parrying and even re-sheathing the blade (some schools even made students take an oath to never pass on what they had learned so as to keep the techniques secret and therefore more effective in a fight).

	Epic Insights: Epic Swordfighters
		Iaijutsu is the art of drawing a weapon (usually a katana) and striking with it in one fluid strike.
		The epic iaijutsu master makes one attack as a full round action when she spirit strikes; a successful Spot check (opposed by the iaijutsu master's Iaijutsu Focus skill check) allows an observer to notice a faint blur about the target as the strike connects.
		The iaijutsu master can follow a spirit strike with an echo from the edge, but unless she uses up another of her spirit strike uses for the day, this second strike is visible (but still shockingly fast).

	The Warrior's Blade \|
		The role of iaijutsu is as a practice performed against an opponent who is visualized most often to be armed with a sword.
		Iaijutsu allows the practitioner to perfect the execution of techniques, body position and displacement which he/she will later employ in his/her kenjutsu without the stresses of a partnered kata.
		Another general distinction between iaijutsu and kenjutsu is the condition of the sword at the start of the kata.

		Iaijutsu is very commonly referred to as the “Art of the Sword” because one studies how to smoothly and gracefully draw and cut with the katana, or Japanese long sword.
		Iaijutsu can be studied alone but it is very complimentary to other arts, such as Chado (tea ceremony), Shodo (calligraphy), and Kado (flower arranging), and is often taught alongside other forms of budo and or bujutsu.
		Iaijutsu is the art of a face-to-face, and perhaps spirit-to-spirit confrontation.

		Iaijutsu assumes that every attacker uses a Japanese long sword (Nihon-to) and seeks to master the various principles of drawing and re-sheathing the sword, attack, defense, etc.
		Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu is a military art (Bugei) that was introduced in the Tensho Period (1573-1591) by its founder, Tamiya Heibei Narimasa.

		Iaijutsu was the premier martial art of the samurai warriors of feudal Japan.
		Hasegawa Eishin, the seventh-generation successor to Hayashizkai-Ryu, widely considered to be nearly equal in skill with the tachi to the style's founder, adapted Iaijutsu techniques to the shorter sword.
		Iaijutsu practice accomplishes this though constant focus and dedication to the concepts of Iaido in our daily lives.

		In other words, what one ryu called kendo (or iaijutsu, or kenjutsu, or batto-jutsu) in the 15th century is not the same as what we call kendo today - it would have incorporated techniques of fencing, drawing and cutting, as no swordsman would be sufficiently trained without all three skills.

		The primary example used will be that of Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu (Tamiya School of Swordsmanship), wherein the deshi (student) of iaijutsu is eventually encouraged to take up the study of Chinese poetry recitation (shigin, or ginei) and traditional sword dance (kenbu).
		Traditionally, iaijutsu is the first art pursued as it teaches several of the fundamental principles required for the study of shigin (i.e.
		While it may be many years before a deshi of Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu is actually given his or her first introduction to kenbu and shigin, this interim time is when the deshi is required to begin her exploration of another Japanese cultural art, and choose one to become immersed in.

		Battojutsu (Iaijutsu) was an evolution of the origional tachi-do of the cavalry warriors before 1100 to the kodachi bujutsu of 1300-1600, which is debatable.

		Iaido, or Iaijutsu, both mean the same to me..And would be assumed as the same in my school...However, what it means to another person or school I wouldn't begin to fathom, other than it's using a sheathed sword and drawing it to cut, then re-sheathing.

		This is also a principle of Iaijutsu, but the slight connection with holy beings allows him to gain the superhuman speed required to execute this move.
		If the knight has ranks in Iaijutsu Focus, he may immediately make a skill check and add any adquired bonus die of damage, but only to the attack with the highest base attack bonus.
		While such a move is extremely complicated and proof of a swordsman skill, his connection to higher beings grant the extra skill and precision.

	Alderac Entertainment Group :: View topic - Iaijutsu, again
		Agreeing on a Iaijutsu duel is to put your character's life (and all that he signifies) at stake in a ruleset that disconsider most of his abilities.
		Kenjutsu, then, is the de facto fighting style in Rokugan and iaijutsu becomes the style of a handful of bushi who troll the courts for duels, easily snuffing their non-Crane/Dragon enemies by denying them the use of their abilities because of an inexplicable cultural rule.
		That said, you are highly unlikely to encounter iaijutsu duels outside of court because it is a formalized thing that requires permission from one's lord to put his life on the line.

		He and his wife, Dianne (Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu NIDAN), are the Branch Managers of the United States Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu Michigan Dojo, having been formally commissioned by the current and 14th Soke (Grand Master), Tsumaki Seirin, to bring this Art to all of North America in 1996.
		In Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu, the Deshi (student) is constantly reminded to respect the life of his opponent, giving him ample opportunity to “live to fight another day,” until the last moments of the KATA, when he must strike to survive.
		Deshi of the Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu Michigan Dojo are required to learn the Samurai Code of BUSHIDO, or “The Way of the Warrior,” and follow it not only inside the Dojo (training facility), but outside the Dojo in their daily lives as well.

		Aerlryinth: Iaijutsu developed as a way to keep yourself from getting killed, the idea was to strike them before they could react so that they could not get an attack off.
		Iaijutsu is based on the idea of preventing that strike from coming out by killing your opponent as fast as possible.
		Which is essentially what an iaijutsu duel is. The assumption was that if you killed somebody before they could react with iaijutsu, then they should have been better prepared for the attack, not that you are some sort of dirty cheater.

	E-Budo.com - Kenjutsu vs Iaijutsu
		It appears that, over time, we have made a mess out of taking bits and pieces of ryu and focusing on them to the exclusion of the other component parts that would make one "complete." That's fine, I guess, since we are not career samurai of the feudal ages.
		It just seems odd that someone who practices only iaijutsu without learning what to do after that initial draw and cut, and another who practices kenjutsu without knowing how to initiate his combat from an undrawn sword, would each consider their arts to be a complete knowledge of how to do battle with a sword.
		So to answer the original question again, "kenjutsu" is commonly used to refer to a koryu whose main study is sparring and "iaijutsu" is commonly used to refer to a koryu whose main study is solo kata but there's a lot of overlap.

		By using the Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu Michigan Dojo as an example, I hope to show that the Seven Principles of Bushido (The Way of the Warrior) can, in fact, be utilized quite effectively as an ethical guideline, especially in the context of teaching and practicing a government-protected cultural art like Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu.

		If the prospective student feels that the responsibility to Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu to live his life by this set of precepts is too overwhelming or difficult, then all he has to do is say so, and we will understand and encourage him to look elsewhere.
