"Aikido Weapons Techniques: The Wooden Sword, Stick, and Knife of Aikido" is for beginners. It starts from the most rudimentary steps for people who have never used weapons before. The pictures are excellent. One of the most important things in learning is to start with good habits from the beginning; never let bad habits develop. This book teaches all the right habits. Since I am a novice, this book was/is perfect for me.

Not many books devoted entirely to this subject.

An excellent primer in the background and use of typical aiki weapons. It is balanced and well illustrated. This author team is excellent, and well-qualified. Their other titles are also excellent.

For any library strong in martial arts titles.

Aikido techniques which use wooden weapons isnt just for weapons users - it provides practice moves which can translate to all forms of basic and advanced aikido tactics. AIKIDO WEAPONS TECHNIQUES therefore is recommended not just for weapons users, but for any aikido student moving beyond the basics - and for any library strong in martial arts titles.
