Bukiwaza

Bukiwaza: The Warrior Arts and Techniques

Bukiwaza is the Warrior Arts and Weapon Techniques of Aikido. What makes a martial art a ‘Warrior Art’ is the presence and practice of weaponry. In this case the sword (Katana, Tachi, and Bokken) and Jo (Jo Staff or just Staff).

Possible Buki Waza History in Aikido

Focus on bukiwaza and riai (the relationship between weapons and taijutsu) is a hallmark of this style. Some of the bukiwaza practices were developed by O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. A big part of Aikijo was Saito Sensei’s breakdown of O Sensei’s teachings, his (Saito) own teachings.

Weapons practice includes suburi, awase (1-step paired exercises), solo or solitary, paired kata, and tanren-uchi (striking a log or tire) with the jo and wooden sword.

Though not formally part of the curriculum, Saito Sensei and Iwama Ryu practises Negishi-Ryu and shuriken (throwing stars).

The sword forms of Iwama Style or Iwama Aikido are generally recognised as being descended from Kashima Shinto-Ryu sword techniques. In particular, the first two Kumitachi are nearly identical in the sequence of cuts to forms from Kashima Shinto-Ryu. There is also talk that the Yagyu style had influence via Masakatsu Nakai’s instruction of O Sensei Ueshiba.

It has been widely observed that the ken-tai-jo are remarkably similar to spear techniques of Kukishin-Ryu. Although speculative, O Sensei Ueshiba was close friends with the Kuki family. The Kuki family is renowned for their spear-like handling of the Jo the family’s art of Jojutsu. In Iwama Aikido there are a lot of Tsuki or thrust techniques. Having said this, there is no written evidence that Ueshiba O Sensei formally studied the jojutsu or spear art from this school.

Buki Waza and Iwama Aikido

Only Iwama Aikido as a style of Aikido includes Buki Waza in their curriculum. The rest of the Aikido world don’t really practice this.

Takemusu Aikido or Iwama Style Aikido is part of the big Aikikai organisation. These schools also have Buki Waza in their curriculum.

Ideally, when one gets their black belt in Aikido they know the aikiken and aikijo suburi and Kumi techniques and kata. The keyword here is ‘know’, I didn’t say a shodan would master Buki Waza. I said ‘know’ the fundamentals of bukiwaza.

Saito Sensei at one point awarded Weapons Scrolls as Menkyo Kaiden (免許皆伝). There were a handful of Sensei(s) and Shihan(s) around the world who got these Menkyo Kaiden. From what I heard, there were less than 2o. I’m lucky that I studied Buki Waza under two of those masters.
