Ki principles class

The study of the most important fundamental: "Ki"

In the Ki principles class, you will learn to relax through correct posture in daily life. This is the basis of Ki-Aikido.

To correctly relax means the most comfortable and stable posture with a calm mind. Everyday, students experience this, and check it through Ki tests with a classmate.
If you master correct relaxation, you will be able to use the great power that is naturally yours. This is important to being Ki-Aikido instructor, but this is also applicable to any work you do.




Ki-Aikido class.

You will learn to respect others minds through Ki-Aikido.

In your daily life, you might have experienced that even if you ask others to do something, others do not do what you expected. This is because you ignore the others' mind and you have selfish mind. If you respect anothers mind and try to do it together then others will follow you gladly.

In your daily life, you seldom throw others with an Aikido technique. If you learn to relax, you will know others minds and you can lead others without problem. You can learn human communication through Ki-Aikido.

  Three parts of studying Ki

Tohei gakuen's classes are divided into three main topics; Ki principles, Ki-Aikido and cultural study (tea ceremony and calligraphy). In the Ki principles class, you will learn Ki principles themselves. In the Ki-Aikido class, you will learn Ki principles through Ki-Aikido. In the cultural study class, you will learn Ki principles from a different angle.





Cultural study

Learning Ki principles through Tea ceremony and calligraphy


In tea ceremony class, you will learn seiza or correct sitting posture. If you do seiza, your posture becomes good and your mind becomes calm naturally. You will be able to master the procedure for making tea. Also, you can learn manners for receiving tea as a guest.

In the calligraphy class, you will learn Ki principles through calligraphy. Many people think that it is important to have a natural talent to write good calligraphy, but this is wrong. By using Ki, anyone can write unique calligraphy. The purpose of this class is to write calligraphy with Ki. After two years study of calligraphy, you will write a scroll type of calligraphy as a graduation memento.
