Last night my dojo had a couple of Aikido black belts come in and show us a little of the bokken they do. Any thoughts on Aikido's use of the bokken?
What did you think of the demonstration?

Yes, good question. What did you think? I have no first hand experience with aikido's use of the bokken. Just what I've read in books, magazines, internet etc.

“Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into a razor-sharp sword. Human beings develop in the same fashion.” ~Morihei Ueshiba

I thought it was well done. The tips about cutting with the tip of the sword, moving uki's mind and how to hold a sword were interesting. He's going to continue to come to my dojo and teach my people bokken. :D

Sounds pretty cool to me.
