I’m very thankful to know that many people are wanting to start training Iaido because they’ve watched my videos. But I also receive a lot of questions asking me, “I don’t have a dojo nearby, so can I self-teach myself?” I’m happy that you’re interested so I’m not 100% against it, but there are two things that I’m concerned about.
First, is your safety. It’ll be almost 7 years since I started training in Iaido, but I still sometimes get injuries. Just by watching videos or other educational content, it’ll especially be difficult for you to understand how to stay safe.
Second, is about the relationship between the instructor and student. In this modern world where we never carry katana around and fight with anyone, there is no practical meaning for you to be able to handle a katana. But I believe that the community that you create/join through your training will forever be a treasure of your life.
So as a conclusion, if there aren’t any dojo near you, I would recommend taking online lessons.
