On December 22th (Saturday), SIED and Doshisha Iaido club co-hosted “Let’s Try Iaido!” at the Dojo within Davis Memorial Auditorium in Kyotanabe Campus. This event was organized to allow international students learn about the culture of Iaido, a Japanese martial arts, and get some first-hands experience.
In the event, the participants got to wear the Dougi, the official uniform for Iaido, to allow them to fully immerse themselves in the sports. Firstly, they watch the members of the Iaido club demonstrate one of the basic moves of Iaido. Following that, the participants were split into 2 groups, where the members of the Iaido club guided and imparted some of their own knowledge to the participants. Once the participants had sufficient practice, they had a mini-demonstration to show off what they had learned. Finally, they had the opportunity to watch the performance by the members of the Iaido club, which won them the championship for the group category at the National Competition this year, first-hand.
SIED are constantly striving to hold various kinds of interesting events for the enjoyment of both local and foreign students. We look forward to seeing you all at our future events!
