  • Bring a Tsuba (hand guard) for your bokken. Your bokken will need a proper-fitting tsuba, preferably in leather or rawhide for durability.

  • No aikido uniforms for outdoor training. Dress for the activity & weather. We recommend rugged and comfortable shoes, like hiking boots or sneakers with good cushioning, since we will be on pavement.
