Aikido Training

5/1/10

We got to train with the bokken today. The bokken is a wooden sword that is used in training. Sensei Mindy informed us that weapons training is a part of Aikido. The moves that we learn to perform open-handed or empty handed are the same moves that are performed with a sword. It is very interesting. There was a lot to remember, but it was great. I am so glad that I didn't hit myself in the head or trip on the bokken.
