Weapons
About weapons training
Weapons training is an integral part of martial arts training at Newcastle Aikido. This training can be extrapolated to everyday self-defence situations and deepens our physical embodiment and understanding of all facets of Aikido and ourselves.
Occasionally, taijutsu (the body art of Aikido) will be combined with weapons training to expose the student to disarming techniques.
Weapons at Newcastle Aikido
Three designated weapons classes are offered each week, where students can become familiar with handling a bokken (wooden sword) and a jyo (wooden staff).
