AIKIDO KOKIKAI

 

The Kokikai style of Aikido was founded by Shuji Maruyama Sensei. Through Aikido training, with a focus on the coordination of mind and body, Kokikai Aikido strives to develop Ki power and increase the strength of both body and mind.

The movements of Aikido are circular and flowing. They are designed on the principles of nature and move in circles and spirals, following paths of Ki. It is not an art about minimising or avoiding stress. Rather, it is about dealing with everyday conflicts and crises in such a way as to maintain stability and poise in the midst of challenge.
