The practice of weapons arts is an integral part of Aikido training. Aside from providing insight into the origin of Aikido techniques and movements, practice of weapons arts assists in developing skills associated with foot work, distance, timing and centred movement. It also plays an important role in developing the appropriate body posture and structure for effective Aikido practice.
