Iaito length guide

Note: The below panel is intended as a guide only and it might be correct for you. The variables that contribute to your ideal blade length, balance and weight can be quite complex.

The shape of your body, your reach, your hand size, a personal preference and the tradition of your style of iaido can all contribute to the length, balance and weight of an iaito that will suit you best.

Measurements shown are for male beginners of average build. For women, please deduct approximately 1 - 1.5cm in blade length. Advice from your instructor will also assist you in selecting the length for you and if you have any questions, please contact Hasuji.
