Aikido developed from spear, short staff and sword techniques, and is closely linked to Iaido and Jodo. It uses many techniques derived from weapon movements, and also uses weapons, but only quite late on. It would be the best martial art to learn. I would also recommend a little home taught Tai Chi. My advice: use the above arts to imagine the weapon as an extension of your arm, then allow strikes to become throws. Also, you should do a striking martial art (I recommend Tae Kwon Do) as Gatka is obviously full of strikes, even though it flows. You need to know how to strike. Marketing Strategies

Most if not all weapon techniques are based off of open handed techniques. How do u think people used to defend themselves if they had no weapon available or if they got disarmed?

Just to name a few... Aikido Ninjutsu Silat Kali-Escrima There is always going to be overlap between the armed and unarmed forms. The ones mentioned above will all go over this, and Ninjutsu actually makes it a point to explain that overlap to you. The poster above me is very correct in pointing out that Aikido comes from sword and stick techniques. Aikido sword fighting is impressive. Marketing Strategies
