Ki no Kenkyukai Association Internationale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ki no Kenkyukai Association Internationale is an aikido organisation founded and headed by 8th dan Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido, Kenjiro Yoshigasaki.
The organisation, founded in 2003, is comprised of former Ki-Aikido dojos from various parts of the world with a large number of dojos residing in Europe. The organisation was formed as a direct result of Yoshigasaki's breakaway from the main Ki no Kenkyukai organisation, founded by 10th dan Koichi Tohei, and focuses on the cultivation of Ki through aikido.
The new organisation is completely independent but has retained the bulk of the original Ki no Kenkyukai setup.
