Learn about our mission, philosophy, and practice
The Eastern Ki Federation is dedicated to the practice and teaching of Ki-Aikido, a martial art that emphasizes harmony, coordination, and the development of mind and body as one.
Our federation is affiliated with the Ki Society Headquarters in Japan and follows the teachings of Master Koichi Tohei, who emphasized the principles of extending Ki (life energy) in daily life.
With dojos across the Eastern United States and international connections, we provide a supportive community for practitioners of all levels to develop their Ki-Aikido practice.
We practice the unification of mind and body, learning to move with calmness, stability and power in all situations.
Ki-Aikido teaches us to lead rather than resist, creating harmony instead of conflict.
Through consistent practice, we develop not just martial skills but also qualities that enhance every aspect of daily life.
