Okay. So the next basic iaido technique or drawing technique is just going to be a basic
horizontal draw. In this you're just going to turn the sword to the side here. Just like
so. Just turn it to the side. Again, pull out, turn it to the side, and then pull the
saya or the scabbard off. Okay. Again, if you're stepping correctly and using the correct
body motion, the sword just sort of falls out naturally.
Now I'm going to show it to you from the side.
That's how you do a basic horizontal draw.
