KI NO KENKYUKAI

Ki No Kenkyukai

The Ki No Kenkyukai Foundation was established on September 16, 1971 by Koichi Tohei Sensei. There are approximately 200,000 members worldwide. It is the only specialized organization authorized by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare.

Tohei Sensei oversees all teaching. A third of the classes conducted at Ki No Kenkyukai is Ki-Aikido. The other two-thirds consist of Ki classes, Kiatsu classes, and training activities such as the annual World Camps, Taigi Competitions, and International Instructors Seminars. International members are registered here as official practitioners of Ki and Ki Aikido. All rank and teaching certificates for Ki and Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido are issued from Headquarters for all authorized US dojos.
