Welcome to the British Ki Society
Dojos in the British Ki Society practise Ki Aikido as developed by the late Doshu Kenjiro Yoshigasaki.
Quotation of the month: May 2024
Aikido is just a name for a certain activity of human beings and each person who practises Aikido has his own purpose. As I am teaching Aikido, my purpose of teaching Aikido is to help each person to create his life. It is still possible that you get attacked physically so Aikido techniques must help you to deal the physical attack. Then there are psychological attack and conflicts so Aikido practise should be able to deal with that as well.
Above all you must create your life so I teach Aikido in a way that the practise helps you to do it.
