Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei Iaido
The Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei Iaido (abbreviated Zen Ken Ren Iai) was previously labeled Seitei Iai and is the All Japan Kendo Federations (AJKF/ZNKR) Iaido. It consists of twelve forms (four sitting and eight standing) and is the initial entry into Iaido by all practitioners who are members of an organization belonging to the International Kendo Federation (FIK).
The Zen Ken Ren Iai was created as a result of the realization within the AJKF that the majority of Kendo practioners had little or no experience of using a real or live Katana. Even Kendo-kata, which was thought to convey an understanding of how to use a Katana, was and still is rarely practised for the most part, and often only as a necessary evil in conjunction with gradings. Kendo had in reality become the way of the Shinai. In 1967 a committee was formed within the AJKF in order to deal with this situation. The initial committee members were:
- Danzaki Tomoaki, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Yamatsuta Jukichi, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Yamamoto Harasuke, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Muso Jikkiden Eishin ryu)
- Masaoka Ichijitsu, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Muso Jikkiden Eishin ryu)
- Muto Shuzo, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Hasegawa Eishin ryu)
- Kamimoto Eichi, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Yoshizawa Ikki, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Hoki ryu)
- Suetsugo Tomezo Iaido Hanshi 8-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Nukada Hisashi, Iaido Hanshi 8-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Omura Yuji, Iaido Hanshi 8-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Sawayama Shuzo, Iaido Kyoshi 8-dan (Hoki ryu)
Six members of this committee were asked to create seven forms that would represent the basic techniques of the sword. The seven forms of the Seitei Iai were introduced into general practice in 1968. By 1977 it was realised that the seven forms were incomplete, and a new committee was formed, in order to reassess the situation. The new committee was comprised of the following members:
- Danzaki Tomoaki, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Kamimoto Eichi, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Hashimoto Masatake, Iaido Hanshi 9-dan (Muso Jikkiden Eishin ryu)
- Wada Hachiro, Iaido Hanshi 8-dan (Muso Shinden ryu)
- Mitani Yoshisato, Iaido Hanshi 8-dan (Muso Jikkiden Eishin ryu)
- Sawayama Shuzo, Iaido Kyoshi 8-dan (Hoki ryu)
In 1980 the findings of this committee were announced, three new forms (8-10) were added to the Seitei Iai. In 2000 the Seitei Iai committee added two more forms (11-12) to the curriculum. Every year in august the AJKF presents updates and changes to the Zen Ken Ren Iai at the Chu-o Koshukai (central seminar). Typically two to three Sensei from each prefecture are invited to this seminar and tasked with disseminating the new teachings at local seminars in their prefecture. Hence, the Zen Ken Ren Iai is a living entity, and the risk of stagnation is reduced. For this reason we need to understand that there is no single correct way to do Iaido, but that we need to remain flexible in both mind and body, in order to appreciate Iaido fully.
The twelve forms
In Iaido, the forms usually have two different names: the first is simply the ordinal number (the first, the second and so on) and the second name is descriptive.
