Iaido
Iaido , the art of drawing the sword (katana) is a Japanese do-form (shin-budo), which was developed after the Meiji Restoration (1867-69). The Origin of Iaido is iaijutsu. It was originally trained as a martial art before the Meiji Restoration. In Iaido the focus is on the aesthetic movement, which is trained in accordance with established patterns (kata) against an imaginary opponent.

from Wikipedia. There are many schools of iaido and many forms of iaido kata. To popularise iaido and to make it easier for kendo practitioners to learn iaido, an expert committee was established by the AJKF to review the situation.
