Usage of a bokken in aikid

Usage of a bokken in aikido

A bokken is used as an inexpensive and relatively safe substitute for a real sword, in training for several martial arts.

Bokken are also used in the AJKF Nihon kendo kata. Another form of training to develop technically correct movements.

In 2003, the All Japan Kendo Federation (AJKF) introduced a type of practice using bokken. Bokuto Ni Yoru Kendo Kihon-waza Keiko-ho is a set of basic exercises using a bokuto. This form of practice, is intended primarily for kendoka up to ni-dan (2), but is very useful for all kendo students.[1]

Suburito are bokken designed for use in suburi. Suburi, literally "bare cutting," are solo cutting exercises. Suburito are thicker and heavier than normal bokken and users of suburito have to develop both strength and technique. Their weight makes them unsuitable for paired practice or kata.
