    There was no need of that. In Edo time, you don't usually fight against people in Yoroi, or why should you want to cut a trough a complete body? You should maybe try a real Kenjutsu Koryu.

    Shure, but to swing a real sword is something different then a iaito. Not shure but i think you training Seitojo (?), where ist also katas in Shinto Muso Ryu with Wakizashi or Jitte against Katana. So you have to learn to survive with all different Maai and disadvantage of the weapon.

    As a beginner i would only buy from trusted source, like the sell section in this forum. So how i startet. There is also some trusted commercial seller i think. The Problem in europe, i think, the most commercial seller here only sell very expensive nihonto witch start with 10k Euro. You can also have a look on link list in this forum. And buy some beginner books look in the faq.

    1. the Old System ist mostly know as Kuroda no Jo, Jodo is used from Shimizu Sensei in modern time 2. the lenght ist not the only reason, if you put all thinks together (use both sides of the jo, 360 degree hazushi...) you have the benefits, but at the end the best fighter wins 3. yes you can maybe kill somebody with the jo, but its not intend to kill Nowadays the modern Iaido school like longer sword in training to improve their technic, but for "real" fighting its not so necessary i think.

    Hi, here is also a description of a very short katana, or long wakizashi, but it is from the muromachi time: https://sword-auctio...sunbthk-hozon-token/ . Aoi call it : This shape of sword is a so called Katateuchi(one-handed) sword that has shorter Nakago and deep Sori and slightly longer Kissaki. There were more goot battles than cavalry battles in Muromachi period, shorter sword was popular.

    Hi, you can look on the sites, who sells iaito: https://tozandoshop.com/collections/sword-racks/products/hayaki-daisho-sword-rack-1?variant=39630283636869 or https://www.seidoshop.com/collections/katanakake-stand or https://www.sinonome-Japan.com/en/katana-stand/57-iaito-shunkei.html (oh sorry this one is out of stock) i would suggest to look at a local shop, who makes handmade wooden weapons for martial arts, they often also have stands hope this helps regards Oliver
