Description
Master the wooden weapons used in Aikido with this comprehensive martial arts training manual. Although Aikido is often thought of as a nonviolent, noncompetitive martial art, the use of weapons was introduced by the art's 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.

Reviews"The book doesn't simply show you the 'step by steps', but details the technical execution and sequences and surrounding factors involved with performing any of the weapons techniques. Even after reading this book and scanning back through, Aikido Weapons Techniques becomes a scannable resource of training methods and is very handy to have in the martial artist's book collection." --Martial Arts & Action Movies blog
