WHAT'S Aikido ? In Aikido there is no competition. Thus we do not compare our strength with others. Rather it is the spirit and aim of our daily Aikido practice to watch how to strengthen our own mind, ki and body, how to interact with other people, and how Aikido can be of use in our daily life. AIKIDO is Daily Life <what is ki ? > One of the most important things in Kokikai Aikido is "extending Ki". But there is no such thing as "throwing others without touching them" or other kinds of supernatural power. To "extend Ki" just means "the state in which you can develop your potential of mind and body to the maximum". The human mind moves the body. So by using our mind (Ki) strongly andcorrectly we can achieve a state of unification of mind and body, andwe can cultivate a strong body. 4 Principles of Kokikai: Keep One Point to develop calmness Relax progressively Find Correct Posture in everything Develop your Positive Mind We try to realize these principles not only during Aikido practice,but also in daily life.
