Weapons |
Aikido training is also composed of weapons training. There are three designated weapons classes at Newcastle Aikikai, where the student will learn to become familiar with handling a bokken (wooden sword) and a jyo (wooden staff). Occasionally, taijutsu (the body art of Aikido) will be combined with weapons training to expose the student to disarming techniques. This training can be extrapolated to every day self defence situations with whatever is at hand, such as a domestic broom, pool cue, or kitchen knife.
