Weapons Arts
Weapons arts and bare-handed arts are inextricably related, both in principle, and in physical expression. In particular, the way of the sword is central to our understanding of Ki-Aikido. We can use bokken (wooden sword), jo (wooden staff), tanto (wooden knife), to refine and deepen coordination of mind and body. Training includes kata, solo, paired and group exercises, and disarming techniques. Weapons training is dynamic exercise, and helps to develop perception, awareness, and a vibrant body and mind.
