Within the first few months, it is also necessary for you to acquire white Iaido tabi shoes.

You do not have to be a student of American Eagle Style, and you cannot be a current
registered participant of any other empty-hand or weapons martial arts style.

In this traditional style of Iaido, there is no belt ranking.

Following in the traditional beliefs of Headmaster Tsuneyoshi Matsuno and his predecessors, students are identified by three categories, depending upon their physical skill, mental knowledge, and personal dedication.

Those categories are: beginner, intermediate, and advanced students.

Students have the opportunity to advance from each level by performing their skills and knowledge at the request of Headmaster Crandall. This style has twelve primary katas, as well as ceremonial katas and a separate ceremonial cutting kata.
