Anybody ever used a fan in aikido? Ueshiba seemed to use it quite a bit; I wonder if anyone was actually taught to use it at an aikido class?

We actually did learn it during one full hour. The principles however are the same. Our Sensei, who was a student at Hombu in the early 60's and attended some of Osensei's classes, told us that the fan was Osensei's favourite weapon at his old age.
