I Do Iaido

“I had nothing to offer anybody
except my own confusion.”

— Jack Kerouak, On the Road

"Why do iaido?"

I get this question often.

I hate it every time.

Sometimes, I feel like saying something pompous-zen-mystical like: 

"Why does the grass grow?"

My answer should probably be:

"It's complicated... Try it, you'll see!"
