Welcome to Mugai Ryu Atlanta.  We teach traditional Japanese Swordsmanship, also known as iaido (ee-eye-do).  Mugai Ryu is a traditional (Koryu), feudal-era style of Japanese swordsmanship founded around 1700 by Tsuji Gettan Sukemochi.  The style aims at teaching practical, combative sword techniques. Practice centers on learning the formal sword drawing and cutting solo forms, as well as paired combative forms using partners.  Iaido reiho, or basic sword etiquette and protocol, is also stressed. We have been serving the North Atlanta area since 2004 and are affiliated with the Japanese Iaido Federation.
