AIKIDO TRAINING
The most visible feature of Aikido training is the repetitive practice of various motions known as kata (forms), until rational and unforced movement flows naturally throughout the body. Unifying the body, mind and ki (internal energy), and utilizing internal order together with physical balance, each person can express their hidden potential through the dynamism of their technique. The techniques harmonize and neutralize the aggressor’s force. Aikido training requires physical, mental, spiritual and ethical practices. It includes body movement, empty hand, sword, stick and knife techniques.

WEAPONS TRAINING
Weapons are an integral part of New Tampa Aikido. Weapons work integrate the weight, balance, stance, timing and distance of one’s body movement. As extensions of the body, wooden staff and sword polish and develop one’s body, mind and spirit. As the late master Kisshomaru Ueshiba wrote in his book, Aikido, “unless you can make the weapons part of your body, you have not truly trained in Aikido.”
