Bukiwaza (weapons) Class Aikido, as taught in its
traditional form, is based on the concept of Riai. Riai
means a harmony of principles, or the connection of
principles in Aikido. These principles refer to the three
elements that make up traditional aikido as a whole: tai
jutsu (body techniques), aiki ken (sword techniques, trained
with bokken or wooden sword) and aiki jo (3/4 length staff).
The principles of movement used in bukiwaza training form
the foundation on which the body techniques are based. It is
therefore of great importance for aikido practitioners to
gain an understanding of the bukiwaza techniques in order to
grasp the core of the empty handed techniques. |
