New in 2025: Koryu!
This year's edition of the OIT will bring back the inclusion of Koryu into the set of shiai waza, with 2-Dan and above competitors being able to select two or more kata from their traditional lineage, along with the shitei-waza given to them from the Zen Ken Ren Iai set. We're looking forward to seeing some exciting Iaido performances from schools across the region.

Open to ALL ranks -- but focused on giving mudansha an opportunity to try competition and 3-4 Dan experience as shinpan (judges) -- participants are expected to participate and contribute in all aspects of the event, including court management and event organization.
