I did this LO for my dh for Christmas. His passion is a martial art called iaido!

Text reads:

Yet greater than technique is spiritual training. Iai does not necessarily mean to cut an enemy but rather to cut the enemy within yourself. Victory in Iai is the non-revengeful heart and the cessation of conflict through not drawing the sword. Thus, you may understand why the Iai of old was called invincibility without drawing the sword. In other words, Iai is a training process towards human perfection, never of murderous intent, but peaceful-minded. The modern significance of Iai is peace and tranquillity for human life. In the larger sense, Iai means the Way of Dwelling in Harmony through endless practice seeking harmony with the Universe.
