Looking forward to practicing in the dojo really soon....

Hello dear friends!! Those are strange times. We will have to adapt to the weather and community policies, but we have full intention to finally meet and have a first class!! If you do not have any symptoms of illness and feel safe to do so, and Calgary policies are open for that date, please you are welcome to join us! Hm... as figures, Calgary is not opened for touching yet... we can gather in groups up to 15 people but we have to keep our distance. So unfortunately we are obligated to postpone our class. So far we are looking now at somewhere mid-June... Let's wait until we are allowed to meet, as much as it it is frustrating... Hopefully we will see you all soon!! We will let you know ASAP, in a mean time please get in touch with me if you are interested!

Practice in Aikido UK, Sensei Richard Firestone.

Ki Aikido demonstration of being completely relaxed and calm. This is what we are training for - to practice and use this relaxation of body and Mind in every day life.

Yes!!! at least we can do it virtually... This is Richard Firestone sensei from Glasgow leading virtual class. But Calgary new people would have to wait for real time practice... you need physical presence of a teacher to do it correctly!! I can't wait !!!

Sensei Graham from Glasgow club

Our friend from Glasgow club is practising in the quarantine under the full moon ...

A little more about Ki Aikido

"I have spread aikido throughout 20 states. I have been to America 17 times in 22 years since I first went to Hawaii to spread Aikido by myself in February, 1953. I am small and have taught aikido to men nearly double my size. I have often let 4 or 5 men attack me at the same time. I would not be able to do this with physical power only. I always stand on the view that mind moves body. Before you learn aikido techniques correctly, you must first learn how to unify mind and bo...dy, I call it Ki development." "Learning to throw others is of little use for ordinary people in their daily lives. The purpose of aikido training is to control mind and body and obtain the power of unification of mind and body." "It is easy to learn techniques to throw people, because movements of the body are visible. But people often neglect the invisible movements of the mind. We should teach how to unify mind and body, the principles of mind and body, and how to move according to coordination of mind and body." "We should teach Ki classes in addition to aikido classes." -Koichi Tohei

That would be a grrrreat Ki Aikido student!!!

Have a look - this is an incredibly powerful breathing meditation. Yes the dojo is closed for now, but we can do Ki breathing and Ki development exercises at home. Stay healthy, body and mind unified!!!

Part of our training is along with Ki Principles to practice "Ki breathing" exercises. Koichi Tohei sensei wrote a new book, "Ki breathing (Ki no Kokyuho)" in Japanese on March 2005. Koichi Tohei had been teaching Ki breathing all over the world beginning with Japan, U.S.A., Europe, Russia, Asia, Australia etc. Excerpt from the book:... "This breathing method will carry fresh oxygen throughout your whole body. If you do Ki breathing correctly, it will help you to overcome any kind of illness naturally. Most modern diseases are caused by lack of oxygen in the cell. Ki breathing methods come from an old Shinto breathing called Misogi no Kokyuho "Nagayo no den". (Misogi breathing). Ki breathing is based on the oneness of mind and body, and to breathe naturally. .... It is difficult to study anything by oneself. If you study with your friends and encourage each other, you will be able to continue studying Ki principles. Therefore, I hope you will study Ki breathing with your companion and/or friends and continue the Ki breathing everyday. It is my great pleasure to teach Ki Breathing to people and help them to stay healthy. Many people practice Ki breathing and they have proven the effectiveness of Ki breathing. There are many benefits: Boost immune function (to activate life power and increase one's resistance to disease ) Relax both mind and body (both mind and body become calm) Have good blood circulation whole body (improve cold feet and hands, inability to conceive) Become healthy and have radiant skin ( gain your beauty) Less stress (to be able to control your emotions) Get high quality sleep (to improve apnea and fatigue) Improve climacteric disorder, autonomic ataxia and depression (recover from disease of mind and body) Having positive relationship in your home and office. When your Subconscious mind becomes plus (realization of the dreams and success). ... Koichi Tohei has taught Ki principles to many people over the years including a world famous pianist, photographers, artists, singers, Kabuki and Noh actors, calligraphers, philosophers, policemen, narcotic investigators, the body guard of President of the US, and more from throughout of the world. They learned Ki principles and they achieve remarkable success. Especially Ki breathing is studied by many of these people. For example, narcotic investigators learn Ki breathing to ease their mental pressure from their cases. Also, musicians and opera singers also learn Ki breathing to develop her vocal skills. Photographers are also learning Ki breathing to be one with the Universe."
