Tameshigiri Iaido
is tameshigiri an art itself or just test cutting?
I was looking for a Japanese sword art to study and i think im going to start iaido but im confused, does iaido teach cutting techniques as well or is that a different art.
Tameshigiri literally means test cut. It can be an artform in and of itself, however, just like breaking boards, bricks or padio blocks in martial arts, it’s to test the practitioner’s current level of ability.
Only kendo won’t practice tameshigiri as they don’t practice with real swords, only shinai. Iaido and kenjutsu will, however it does depend on the school. You can’t leave that to say.
