Although aikido is often
thought of as a
nonviolent,
noncompetitive martial
art, the use of weapons
was introduced by its
founder, O'Sensei
Morihei Ueshiba.
In fact, aikido
techniques that use
wooden weapons can
enrich all aspects of
your practice, helping
you to understand both
basic and advanced
aikido technical tactics
as well as conceptual
strategies and skills.
Building on the authors'
belief that no
empty-hand system is
complete without weapons
training, Aikido Weapons
Techniques demonstrates
weapon use both as a
training tool to better
illustrate aikido
principles, and as a
self-defense against
weapon attacks.
Aikido Weapons
Techniques focuses on
the three primary
weapons used in aikido:
• Ken (wooden sword)
• Jo (wooden staff)
• Tanto (wooden knife)
A complete discussion of
each weapon is included,
with descriptions of the
stances, grips,
techniques, defenses,
forms and training
appropriate for each.
With over 200
step-by-step photographs
and detailed
instructions, this book
provides an in-depth
exploration of weapons
use in aikido-from its
spiritual implications
to technical theory and
practical use.
