Kokikai Aikido Foundation

Kokikai Aikido is a martial art, concerned with effective self-defense technique and realization of our full potential power in all the activities of daily life. Even as we develop powerful Kokikai technique we strive to increase the strength of both body and mind, discover Kokikai Ki Power through mind-body coordination, and stimulate good health. In this way we create a secure foundation for a strong and successful life. We discover our whole human ability, our full potential power, through self-mastery.

Our purpose is to realize the finest self-defense ability and to develop and apply Kokikai Ki Power to the daily lives of Kokikai practitioners. Kokikai does not study Ki Power through abstract word alone; rather, we examine Ki Power through the lens of self-defense technique. We discover our strongest state through tangible experience, and make that experience concrete through positive results in the face of adversity. Through this method we understand the simple truth that when we use mind and body correctly, our Kokikai Ki Power becomes strong.

"Find the correct state for human beings and realize your full potential."

Sensei Shuji Maruyama
