Shihan Steven SEAGAL is a famous movie star, internationally know for his movies, practice of martial arts, and more for his music. Also, people discovered in 2009, during the TV serie "Lawman" that Steven Seagal is also, since a long time, police officer.
Indeed, his modern, fast, effective and evolutive practice of Aikido, as well as his knowledge of weapons, make him a advisor and a reference for the law enforcement worldwide. Moreover, during his trips in different countries, he often visit, and train this unities.

The Steven Seagal's Aikido is really useful in this difficults situations. Many of his techniques help to control the person, who has once done on the ground, will be handcuffed easier. His technics functions on the guy in influence of drugs, alcohol, psychiatric disorders...In the French Police School we can lear "GTPI" (Protection and Prevention techniques), and all this are based on Aïkido techniques.

For example, Aikido techniques on a katana attack, can works on a circular attack on the street, mawashi-geri kick type, or even baseball bat attack. You've already understood, the Steven SEAGAL Aikido isn't a traditional Aikido, while respecting the teaching of O'Sensei, it adapts to the penal laws in force (legitimate defense) and the evolving society, unfortunately in a negative way.

From Lety (Team Seagal)
Dear friends

As you know, some days ago I went to Belgrade to visit my teacher and friend Shihan Steven Seagal.
He was in Serbia for the movie set "Order of the Dragon" and as diplomatic and close of the President Aleksandar Vucic, he visited various places in Belgrade.

During one of this visits, he received a very beautiful gift. Indeed, mister Alimpić from the Center for the Development of Aikido in Serbia, asked to mister Đuričić, to make a full set of Aikido weapons.

The creator of these pieces is a passionate local artisan and a master craftsman who wanted to create something truly worthy of a legend like Shihan Seagal. Jo and Bokken were made from two different types of wood, and there is a deep, functional philosophy behind that choice.

One of the bokken is crafted from a single, solid piece of Ipe wood, also known as Brazilian Walnut. Ipe is one of the hardest and most durable woods in the world. It is incredibly dense (heavier than water), up to three times harder than oak, and has a Class A fire rating, the same as steel. This bokken is a true testament to power and endurance, a weapon that is virtually indestructible.

The Laminated Bokken

While the solid Ipe bokken is powerful, its weight and forward balance can be demanding for prolonged training. To solve this, the craftsman created a second, laminated bokken designed to replicate the perfect balance of a true katana. This is the two-toned bokken you saw.

The "spine" of the blade (mune) is made of Hornbeam, a lighter but exceptionally tough wood. The Hornbeam is at its widest at the tip (kissaki) and tapers towards the hilt.

This sophisticated construction deliberately shifts the center of balance back towards the hands. The result is a bokken that feels significantly lighter and more agile, allowing for faster manipulation and reducing fatigue, perfectly simulating the feel of a high-quality katana. It combines the toughness of Hornbeam with the density and impact power of Ipe.

The Jo staff has a similar composite design for a perfect blend of strength and speed. Its core is a square beam of lighter Hornbeam wood. This core is then clad on all four sides with the durable Ipe wood and finally turned on a lathe to be perfectly round.

The result is a jo that is incredibly strong and resistant to impact on the outside, yet remains light and manageable due to its Hornbeam heart.
