Weapons

Aikido includes the study of 2 main weapons. The Bokken or wooden sword (sometimes a Metal Iaito), and the Jyo or wooden staff.
Both weapons have very systematic programs, starting with basic strikes (Suburi), solo forms (...) up to full partner practice (Tanren Gata, Kumi Tachi and Kumi Jyo).

Aikido weapons have direct corellations to the unarmed body arts and are studied as such, rather than as a seperate study
