The bokken is an inexpensive and relatively safe substitute for a real sword in several martial arts such as kendo, aikido and kenjutsu. The bokken does not demand the care, attention and skill of a live sword, and is safer for the user and other practitioners.
Aikido
Aikidois a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba. On a physical level, the art of Aikido employs throws, joint locks and other techniques derived from Jujitsu and Kenjutsu.
