Weapons in Aikido

Aikido is a technique that incorporates moves that are more defensive than offensive. In fact, it seeks not to injure but to prevent or stop a person. This is maybe why there is rarely a weapon employed in the sport. The martial arts is manufactured mostly of movements and techniques. Still, the’re some, who’re already advanced, that go into weapons training. Weapons that are used in aikido are the tanto, the wooden jo and the bokken. Often, techniques in taking weapons from opponents and keeping the weapon practitioners are using are taught.
More than specific weapons, practitioners of aikido rely mostly on the moves that they’re being taught with. Their mastery of these movements are their weapons against people who want to do them harm.
Below is a rundown of the movements and techniques taught in aikido.
Ikkyo
This is the most basic movement in aikido. In fact, it is the first one to be coached. Ikkyo makes use of control in the grip by applying hand grip on the elbow and near the wrist. The grip can apply pressure on the ulnar, a medial portion of the arm.
Atemi
Atemi are feints or strikes that are used as attacks against the vital points o the body. This movement is meant to cause much damage; so it is rarely being employed in aikido. Still, if there’s a need, one can use atemi in fighting your way from brawls. It can also be used as a form of distraction. Atemis can consider your opponent by surprise and break his concentration by providing a startling incident. When used the proper way, it can likewise ruin your opponent’s balance, which can render a chance for you to strike or to take to the woods.
Another build of strikes that can be used in aikido is the kick. This is even so not used as often. Aikido does not encourage the employment of kicks because injuries induced by these kinds of movements may be too dangerous. Also, kicks aren’t so everyday in feudal Japan, where aikido originated.
He’re some forms of strikes that are frequently used.
face-thrust – Although the aikido name, Ganmen-tsuki, can be rather intricate, it is basically a punch directed to the face.
Front-face – Called Shomenuchi in aikido language, it is characterized by a vertical knife strike to the head of the opponent.
Side-face – Also termed Yokomenuchi, this strike is done by making a diagonal knife-hand strike at the side of the neck or the side of the head of the opponent.
Chest-thrust – Called Mune-tsuki, this is basically a punch to the torso, targeting the chest, the solar plexus and the tummy
Attacks
Although attacks are basically not encouraged in the research of aikido, teachers still see the need for it should circumstances justify an increasingly offensive technique. One example of an attack used in aikido is the immobilizing grab, which is frequently used when opponents wield weapons.
Grabs
This is about the most basic systems in aikido. It is reckoned safer and easier to do. It is a method used to free one’s hand, rid your opponents’ of their weapon or to immobilize an individual.
Aikido is a japanes martial art, which is as effective as any filipino martial art.

How to Maintain Your Martial Arts Training at the Highest Level
Anthony Wagner
How do you train at the highest level? Is this a question that you have asked yourself? I have had the same issue; one of the things we have found is that in order to train well, you as a Martial Artist must be willing to make sacrifices. You must also be willing to invest in the tools that will enable you to train at the desired level. We have trained hundreds of Martial Artist, one thing they all have in common is the first investment they decide to make as Martial Artists. The first thing they decide to invest is their time. It takes at least 10 hours a week to train at a high level. You as a Martial Artist have to be willing to invest the time it would take in to train hard.
You have to be willing to train on weekends; you have to willing to train at night. You have to be willing to take the time necessary steps to implement the proper diet in order to sufficiently fuel your body in order to allow a strict training regimen. You have to take the time to prepare meals that are high in protein and contain enough carbohydrates to maintain a calorie count sufficient to support you training.
If this sounds tough, it should. As Martial Artist we have to be willing to take the “tough” route and truly embrace the journey that you will travel along during your Martial Arts training regimen. This is the part of the process that will take the most time. This journey will actually encompass you life. Martial Arts training becomes part your life. You do not become a Martial Artist, Martial Arts becomes you. This is the reward for the time you have sacrificed, for the time you have spent in the gym training, sparring, practicing your forms.
Training at the highest level requires many things. As a dedicated Martial Artist, we must strive to overcome as many of those obstacles as possible. Martial Arts in that respect imitates life. When you initially began any Martial Arts training program, it seems like an impossible feat. Every push-up feels like your last, every crunch feels like you can’t go on. It is the next push-up, the next sit-up that will separate you from everyone. It is that point where everyone else quits where you have the opportunity to excel. It is the point of no return!
In order to train at a level necessary to be the best Martial Artist you can be, there is another facet of training that is extremely important. You must take the time understand and embrace the emotional and spiritual aspects of Martial Arts training. One of the most important parts of Martial Arts training is comprehending the premise that the mind and the soul are immensely stronger than the body. As Martial Artist, once we understand that fact, we can “win” any battle.
Training at the highest level requires many things. As a dedicated Martial Artist, we must strive to overcome as many of those goals as possible. Martial Arts in that respect imitates life.
