The bokken (lit. 'wooden sword') is a tool used to augment our Aikido training. Several YouTube videos have been recently uploaded to assist our beginners with the curriculum of Aiki-Ken (i.e. the Aikido usage of the bokken). The following demonstrations are by Adam Cole-Clark, one of instructors at our Sydney City branch dojo.
1. Ken suburi : seven basic solo exercises
2. Happo-giri : "eight-directional cut" solo exercise
Aiki-Ken is an important component of Iwama-style Aikido.
