Kendo vs iaido6/23/2023 Seitei Iaido Seitei Iaido or Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei Iaido is a standard set of iaido kata created by the All Japan Kendo Federation (AJKF, Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei or ZNKR) beginning in 1968. Both schools trace their lineage to Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu through Hasegawa Chikaranosuke Hidenobu. The two largest of these are Muso Shinden Ryu (MSR) and Muso Jikiden Eshin Ryu (MJER). However, there are several very large and popular schools of Iaido. Ko-ryu (Old School) There are historical records of many schools (called Ryu) of Iaido but only about 30 survive today and a number of those have only handful of members who pass down their teachings carefully from one generation to the next. Yet, several styles of Iaido claim him as their founder, including the school we follow – Muso Jikiden Eshin Ryu (MJER). Little is known of his life, leading some scholars to doubt his historical existence as a real person. Hayashizaki Jinsuke Minamoto no Shigenobu (1546–1621) is generally credited with being the originator of the first dedicated school of sword drawing. The first schools dedicated exclusively to sword drawing appeared some time during the late 16th or early 17th century.
