4 IMPORTANT RULES for Beginner's when buying equipment for the first time. -PLEASE READ

ATTEND CLASSES FIRST TO SEE IF IAIDO TRAINNING IS FOR YOU. THERE IS NO POINT AND SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY IF THE TRAINING IS NOT FOR YOU.
CHECK WITH AN INSTRUCTOR ABOUT SIZES FOR KEIKOGI AND HAKAMA. LONG HAKAMA IS A HAZARD IN TRAINING.
TRAIN WITH DOJO IAITO FIRST, THERE ARE MANY ISSUE THAT NEED TO BE WORKED OUT FIRST BEFORE BUYING AN IAITO. BEGINNERS DAMAGE THIER IAITO AND/OR THEMSELVES DUE TO POOR TECHNIQUE.
TRAINING IS PARAMOUNT. EQUIPMENT ONLY AIDS IN YOUR PURSUIT OF TRAINING. COST AND COMPLETE RAPID OBTAINMENT OF ITEMS DO NOT ADD TO YOUR TRAINING. DO NOT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY! THE DOJO HAS EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE FOR TRAINING AS WELL.
