MJER Kata - Naming Conventions

 

As we saw it before, Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu is connected to ancient Japanese tradition by many threads. Iwata sensei himself has learnt from many sensei of various iaido schools. Therefore, there are many kinds of classifying Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu katas, according to various traditions of different schools. In the following pages you will find the result of collecting MJER naming systems by Pasi Hallstén sensei, and Neil Kemp sensei. You can select any of the five different classification systems by clicking on the pushbutton with the name of the given school. As for MJER EC in Hungary, the first one is the most important, because we learn iaido from Iwata sensei, and his students. We organize the system of MJER katas according to Iwata sensei's classification system.
