Welcome to the home page of the Sussex Genbukan Iaido Club. We practice the art of Iaido and are registered and insured with the British Kendo Association (BKA), which is the official governing body for Iaido in the UK. The Sussex Genbukan Iaido Club is a non-profit making organisation recently established to help promote the art of Iaido in the Southeast of England. We hold training sessions in Pevensey Bay (East Sussex) and Sompting (West Sussex).
Iaido (pronounced ee-eye-doe) is a traditional Japanese martial art that can be translated as 'the art of drawing the sword', or 'the way of mental presence and immediate reaction'.
Iaido emphasises controlled precise movements and perfect form which are taught as individual techniques called kata. Training in Iaido does not generally include any direct contact or sparring (although there are some paired training techniques taught to experienced students).
At the Sussex Genbukan Iaido Club, we practice Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu (MJER) Iaido, which is one of the most widely practiced classical Iaido schools. Our syllabus includes the seitei-gata which are the standardised set of iaido forms formulated by the All Japan Kendo Federation (Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei, ZNKR). There are now twelve seitei forms taught within a number of Iaido/Kendo federations to teach and promote iaido around the world.
