Introduction In this volume, we take up the theme, "how to use weapons in Aikido and Chinese martial arts". Through weapons training, you will be able to understand about the following martial arts elements: (1) The difference between body techniques and weapons training (2) The difference between the Japanese curved sword, and the Chinese straight sword (3) How to take a proper distance (4) How to watch your partner's eyes (5) How to grab your partner's mind (6) How to mo e with good timing (7) Proper traditional foot work (8) Circular movements with the weapon (9) A block should include an attack, an attack should include a block (10) Long weapon's, and short weapon's weak points (11) The weak points of armor (12) How ancient people produced good steel about two thousand years ago with little technology. In our training, we must vow to take responsibility not to use weapons for disreputable reasons. Our purpose of Japanese/Chinese weapons training should be for lifelong study and good health. Also, I challenge the readers to try and smelt their own iron and attempt to produce swords. --Tetsutaka Sugawara, March 15th, 1998
