The club incorporates traditional Aikido weapons training to develop awareness, timing, distance, and precision under pressure. By practicing with tools such as the Bokken, Tanto and jo, students sharpen coordination, focus, and body mechanics while learning how to stay calm and adaptable in dynamic situations.
