Before I started training in Iaido katana drawing, I too thought that it’s your right hand that pulls out the katana. However, that is a misunderstanding. It’s actually your left hand holding the sheath.
There are mainly two reasons why this is very important.
1. Drawing quicker
2. Controlling the direction of the slash
In an actual fight in iaido, the person who can draw the katana faster is the person who wins. By using both of your handsyou can maximize the speed of your draw.
Secondly, only by controlling the sheath with your left hand can you adjust the direction of the draw. You must be able to draw the cut in all directions to adapt to any situation.

I have a new dream… It is to raise money to enroll in a school to become a Japanese language instructor (an official qualification)! I promise you that I will become the best Japanese teacher who not only teaches Japanese, but is also familiar with Japanese history and traditional culture.
Things I want to do after I get the qualification:
-Free Weekly/Monthly Japanese lessons on YouTube LIVE
-Online private Japanese lessons
etc.
