Kampai Budokai

Decouvrir le Iai-Do
R. Habersetzer
J. Lobo, S. Santoro
Editions Amphora, 1991

I have always been tempted to compare this book with Darrell Craig's "Iai, the art of drawing
the sword" although I'm not sure why exactly, maybe because they both have a yellow cover.
The french book is more compact (113 pages) and includes less stories and anecdotes. It
consists of two parts: 1 Spirit and 2 Technique. The first part (37 pages) consists mostly of a
rather good historical overview of seitei iai, Muso Shinden ryu, Mugai ryu, Tenshin Shoden
Katori Shinto ryu and Takenouchi ryu. There is an interesting section "Iaido or Iaijitsu"
discussing Toyama gakko and Nakamura: quite a lot of information in less than 40 pages.
The second section deals with seitei iai, posture and basic movements, reishiki (no sageo
handling, and slightly different from current form; the left hand pulls the saya into the obi,
among other things) and all 10 kata. The authors freely admit they don't give the definite
version of this continually changing series (though at the time apparently they believed there
would one day be a definite version).
The drawings in this book are clear and the descriptions stress important points. Many details
are not mentioned, but then again, this means almost all points are still valid. This is actually
the best beginners guide book I know of (which was precisely the point of the book; "discover
iaido").
There are several appendices; including the alleged scene from Sanjuro depicted in "This is
Kendo" (which isn't in Sanjuro at all), the TSKSR kata included below, and a description of

iaido equipment. One really poor layout choice was to place the sword drawing with numbered
parts and the part names on the reverse side of the same page. Also missing are instructions
on wearing the uniform.
The book include a few pages with photographs, including the famous Tsumaki Seirin shot by
Raick, J.P. Raick himself doing Tamiya ryu, Kuroda Ichitaro doing Omori ryu, historic
photographs of a very young Hiroo Mochizuki doing iai, pictures of what I think is Nakamura in
Toyama uniform doing tameshigiri, and of course some pictures of the authors practicing Muso
Shinden.
Jose Lobo was 2nd dan Iaido and 2nd dan Karatedo, Serge Santoro 2nd dan Iaido and 1st dan
Jodo at the time they wrote the book.
R. Habersetzer is the editor of the Budoscope series, which includes volumes on karate, judo,
aikido, jujutsu, kung-fu, tae kwon do, tai chi chuan, and kendo.

Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu Iai kata


These drawings were made by R. Habersetzer in 1972 from a recording of a demonstration of
iai by Mochizuki Hiroo in France. They were published in Budo Magazine, Jan. 1972. According
to the book, these are:
ipponme: kusanagi no ken
nihonme: nuki tsuke no ken
sanbonme: nuki uchi no ken
yokonme: uken
gohonme: saken
roponme: happo ken
? (one missing?)
nanahonme: yuki ai gyaku nuki no tachi
kyuhonme: zengo chidori no tachi
juponme: ?
Some research on the TSKSR curriculum gives a somewhat different list:
