After starting Aikido training? when should I start training with a weapon?

Should I do it as soon as possible or should I wait and try to ba good at aikidio before trying to weild a weapon.
Start training a weapon when your teacher starts teaching it in class (Asuming your club does weaponstraining).

And one last question just of curiosity: do we find the nunchaku in Aikido training ? I know that it's a weapon crerated for the SHaolin Kung Fu but I just wanted to know if it had been imported in some of the japaneses martial arts
I have never seen nunchakus in aikido, but that does not necessairly mean it does not exist or no-one is training that. Have seen people use tanto, ken, jo, umbrella, handfans and chopsticks.
