Toyama Ryu Iaido is a Japanese sword art established around 100 years ago by a group of Japanese swordsmen. It embodies the art of drawing and using a single sword from a standing position. It involves basic cutting techniques, basic kata, advanced two-man kata, and a variety of cutting patterns. It teaches not only drawing and cutting techniques, but also the mental and spiritual aspects that governed the daily lives of swordsmen. Hong Kong Toyama-Ryu Iaido Association (HKTIA) is a non-profit voluntary organization that promotes Toyama-Ryu Iaido in Hong Kong. Members of the HKTIA are allowed to take part in ranking examinations and competitions organized by the "Zen Nihon Toyama Ryu Remei".
