Zitat des Monats Quote of the month

Höflichkeit ist die große Erzieherin zur Menschlichkeit. Sie gewöhnt den Menschen an Form, Takt, Rücksicht. So gestaltet und verfeinert sie seine Seele. Courtesy is the greatest teacher of humanity. It accustoms people to propriety, tact and consideration. In this way, it shapes and refines their character.

(Richard N. Graf Coudenhove-Kalergi) (Richard N. Graf Coudenhove-Kalergi)

Japanese swordsmanship is divided into two categories

Kenjutsu
Iaijutus

Kenjutsu is the fencing or fighting with the drawn sword. Iaijutsu is the way or method of drawing the sword from the saya (scabbard) and making an efficient cut in one and the same movement. In the 20th century Iaijutsu developed into the Budo discipline Iaido. While in Iaijutsu the most important aspect is the martial and efficient component, in Iaido the spiritual and moral development of man is in the foreground. The martial component is only in second place in Iaido.
