As a member of the Kokusai Iaido Hozen Kyokai International Iaido Preservation Society, the dojo specializes in teaching Muso Jikiden Esihin-ryu, a traditional style passed down by Hiroshi Seigan Esaka Sensei. With a history spanning approximately 450 years, Eishin-ryu is one of the oldest schools of Iaido, focusing on the precise technique of drawing the katana, as practiced by the samurai.
Committed to upholding the values of integrity and discipline, Nishi Kaigan Iaido Dojo stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, condemning any acts of violence against unarmed civilians. The dojo takes pride in its dedication to preserving the art of Iaido and offers a platform for students, both active and external, to engage in learning, discussions, and sharing experiences through their blog and forum.
