Iaijutsu - A Japanese sword martial art developed to counter surprise attacks in situations where one's range of movement is restricted, such as while seated, in a narrow hallway, or in the corner of a room. It involves instantly drawing the Japanese sword from its scabbard and subduing an unexpected enemy.

The supreme pinnacle of iaijutsu, as acclaimed, by the martial artist Tetsuyama Kuroda. The moment of drawing the sword is imperceptible.

I've practiced iai, but can't recall doing it in a closet. Maybe I should try.

I thought the reason they carried a Wakizashi was for tight quarters where a katana wasn't practical?

^Yes, that's true, but you might not have your wakizashi with you (I actually don't even own one).

Iaido/iaijutsu is normally done out in the open. Practising in confined quarters would be considered a specialized application.

I’d cut myself in half trying to do that. Or, I would impale myself when I fell over trying to stand up.
