They seem to have classes for younger students, at least that's what I see sometimes when I drive by. I don't think they train with any weapons. Either they're teaching them some basic stuff for disicpline, or they're learning some fighting moves. Guess I'd have to go in and ask.


Well, I can't see myself ever needing this particular skill - at least not around the office here . But, I I'd like the idea of doing somekind of art form which would enhance my "mind/body" balance as well as give me some skill in self-defense (and maybe go mano a mano with big O! )
Typically, the use of weapons in Aikido is to learn how to disarm an opponent.
