St. Louis Ki Aikido

St. Louis Ki #Aikido is offering online classes and meditation sessions to our current members to help maintain your training while helping to keep everyone safe and healthy. If you are interested in joining these classes, please contact [email protected] for more information. Our in-person #Aikido classes remain suspended in order to help limit the spread of COVID-19. We are monitoring the advice offered by the CDC and St. Louis City Department of Health, and will restart in-person classes when we can do so in a way that is consistent with our curriculum and meets social distancing guidelines.

Abel Villacorta sensei in Boulder, CO does an amazing and eloquent job of discussing what, why, and how we teach kids and adults the martial art of Ki Aikido: https://vimeo.com/421381476

"When your aikido techniques are rough it means that you are forcing against the principles... You will not be able to stand up to a stronger opponent so you must try to follow the principles. Your character comes out in your techniques. So do the habits of your mind. By correcting the techniques, you can correct the bad habits of your mind. If you constantly collide with others in your practice, your mind will develop a habit of clashing with other people" -Doshu Koichi Tohei
