bushido_man96 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 does Aikido even use swords?I think that Aikido gets heavily associated with Kendo, which is a swordsmanship style, that uses the shinai (bamboo sword) to practice. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nometry Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Do NOT buy a half tang sword if you plan to use it. Half tang is STRICTLY for display only. I suggest buying the Nami Wave Katana by Paul Chen, it's an Iaito which is made for what your talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marie curie Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I like aluminum for demonstrations- nice and light, so when you practice with a heavy one, your movement goes really smoothly. You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordtariel Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 If you're flinging that thing around, you should probably go with a sword that has a full tang. The last thing you want to happen is for the blade to come loose and spear something.(Happened to one of my friends using a Chinese broadsword once. Blade went right through his couch.) There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
