You will have noticed that I have already used the terms of Kenjutsu and Iaijutsu without explaining them. While more experienced Practitioners can use real Blades. Beginners often will use a blunt Sword simulator made from an aluminum alloy. Iaido today is practiced with Iaito and Shinken. So, a Student of Iaido today will firstly learn the Seitei Kata and will also keep practicing these Techniques for grading before he will learn the original Techniques of his Style of Iaijutsu. As in a modern Federation at least in the higher Grades you do not get tested by your own Teacher, but by People of the Federation, that may come from a different Style of Iaijutsu. These modern standard Forms encompass Elements of the different Iaijutsu Styles but give the examiners a Tool for grading the Students. These Federations will rank their practitioners with help of the Seitei Kata. Modern Iaido is organized like Kendo in the Forms of Federations. Iaido means something akin of the way to react correctly and is used for Dojo that practice sword Drawing associated to mostly the Schools of Muso Shinden Ryu, Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu and Tamiya Ryu.
