Something most people don't understand about Aikido

There is an often forgotten part of Aikido that makes it very difficult to understand the forms. Aikido classically has three weapons: the Jo, the Bokken and the Tanto (knife). Aikido is a martial art that was built for the modern era, it's goals are more about self development than they are about mass distruction. However Aikido's forms are built upon the classical structure of Japanese Jujutsu- which means the forms revolve around small weapons work- specifically the knife. In this video I will explain how that works, and how looking at knife work can improve your Aikido forms training.
