## What is Aikido Weapons?

Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art distinguished by its non-violent and non-competitive approach. It was developed in the early 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba, also known as O Sensei.

The Aikido Weapons app brings together techniques involving the use of traditional weapons, the bokken (wooden sword), and the Jo (wooden staff), each captured from multiple angles for a detailed understanding.

### 5/5 — Très pratique

*2024-04-25*

Vidéos très claires et recherche de techniques facile. Bonne appli

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2013-02-24*

Les modules ont peu de vidéos. Très déçu. Passer votre chemin

### 3/5 — Must pay to access most material

*2012-12-12*

Free material is very well done, shows several different jo and bokken kata. Each clip can be shown from different angles, a lot of thought went into this. The free stuff is a small portion of the app though, you must pay to unlock most of the material.   If you are a student of Saito or Iwama style then this is a good guide and might be worth paying to unlock. I'm not so I will take a pass.

### 1/5 — Decevant

*2012-12-05*

Application volumineuse mais quasi vide : tout est à acheter en plusieurs packs... Décevant pour moi qui ai l'application aikido ibudokan, d'autant plus que l'éditeur ne les fait plus évoluer ensuite...
