Links
Here are a few links I find useful. Some relate
to Nihon Goshin Aikido, some to martial arts in general, and some are
otherwise useful. More links will be posted as time and Web wanderings
permit.
Nihon Goshin Aikido Links:
-
South Carolina dojos.
This is the common website for the schools run by John Wyndham Sensei
(the author's primary instructor) and John Carter Sensei, with specific
information, news, and schedules for each dojo. www.aikidoacademy.com
-
Nihon Goshin Aikido
Association. The official association web site for the branch of
Nihon Goshin Aikido led by Bowe Shihan. www.aikidoinc.com
Other Links:
-
AikiWeb. A good
resource on Ueshiba Aikido. www.aikiweb.com
-
Bu Jin Design. Excellent
uniforms and weapons, and great customer service! www.bujindesign.com
-
Asian World Martial Arts. A
wide variety of supplies for the martial artist. www.awma.com
-
Century Martial Arts.
Uniforms, training gear, and weapons for martial artists. www.centuryma.com
-
Hakama. If you wear
it, you have to know how to tie and fold it.
-
Training weapons.
- These folks carry a wide range of training weapons designed for safe
defensive training. Colorful guns feel like the real thing, but are
plastic and can't shoot. Knives with proper weight and shape, but safe
even for beginners. www.botac.com/traininggear.html
- There are even more training knives here, and these are metal (with
absolutely no edge or point) for more realistic take-aways and to get
more accustomed to seeing actual metal in an attack. bloodsport.com
-
Orthopedic Physical
Therapy Products. OPTP carries a variety of items used by physical
therapists. Many are also useful for martial artists who wish to
improve strength, balance, or flexibility, or who need to rehab an
injury (of course, contact your doctor before using these things). www.optp.com/shop.cfm
