	Aikido at the Center: Reflections on Aikido
		However, Iwama Aikido gives the aikidoka a direct link to the technique of O-Sensei, thereby allowing the student, once they have internalized the form, to expand the art with their personal experiences, as opposed to those of their teacher’s.
		In those aikidoka without many years of experience in Iwama Aikido, however, it seems that the techniques are performed quite forcefully with a lot of emphasis on physical strength, instead of on the proper technique, which would enable them to execute technique without the unnecessary physical strain.
		But as a student of Iwama Aikido I have the chance to go to Japan and be accepted to live and train in the way deshi have been doing in Japan for hundreds of years.

	Aikido Weapons
		Rather, the weapons training, both solo and partner practices, are designed to help the student develop a strong sense of timing, spatial awareness, and connection with a partner; to learn to stay in sync with a partner, while the weapon becomes a natural extension of one's own body.
		The Jo movements are generally based upon the Iwama Style 31 Jo Kata with some of the movements also based upon the usage of the bo, naginata, and the spear.
		Unlike Iwama style weapons training, the close relationship of the body movements in both weapons practice and empty-handed aikido is not emphasized.

		Hi Mark, I've never training in Iwama based aikido (although I understand it is part of Aikikai?) however I gather it has some significant similarities to Yoshinkan aikido, in terms of static forms and teaching style.
		In iwama style I was pleased that the training was very particular about accuaracy - very picky about every body movement, so that you really have to make sure everything is in the right place.
		I have trained in both and decided to dedicate to aikikai, iwama was too soft for me and I felt aikikai weapons were better for me. I don't think styles/systems are the issue, I think it's the particular instructor and what the individual is looking for in aikido.
