Some Aikido taught with weapons some not?
Hi folks!
In my research I have noticed many Aikido dojos that teach Aikido and incourage weapons study as well (Batto Ho or another iaido based art), some even have back to back classes and students are "expected" to attend both.
How is this determined? I know they complement each other and the movements are similar, or can be similar but, is this a "style" thing? Maybe an instructor preference thing?
I am looking to get back training in Iaido but this would be completely separate from my Aikido classes.
Thoughts?
