About Kokikai

Kokikai is a relaxed, natural form of Aikido.

Kokikai was developed by Shuji Maruyama sensei in the mid 1980s

and is continually refined by him.

Minimum effort for maximum effect is achieved by following the four principles of Kokikai.

The four principles:

1. Keep one point to develop calmness
2. Relax progressively
3. Find correct posture in everything
4. Develop your positive mind
