ACEnet Tenant Athens Ki-Aikido Shares Good News
ACEnet tenant Athens Ki-Aikido is a traditional dojo (training hall for traditional cultural, spiritual, or martial arts) offering practice and instruction in the Mind/Body Oneness Awareness training of Ki Development (Shinshin Toitsu Do) and the modern Japanese Defensive Skills system of Ki-Aikido (Shinshin Toitsu Aikido).
Aikido is a paradoxical practice because it teaches not-fighting; it is often called "The Way of Peace." The context of training is a combat situation - someone "attacks" and another "defends." Aikido offers dynamic self-defense on a physical level and also, by extension, crisis/conflict resolution skills useful in the emotional and psychological context of daily life; in personal and business situations.

Local instructor Stan Haehl sensei with official photo of style founder Koichi Tohei sensei and a "Ki" character he brushed.
|
Local instructor Stan Haehl sensei recently shared some great news. "Athens Ki-Aikido was recently approved as an Authorized Dojo of
Shinshin Toitsu Aikido Kai
, which is our international organization, (known outside Japan as Ki Society), headquartered in Tokyo and Tochigi Japan. Before this we were affiliated through our national Federation,
Midland Ki Federation
; this means we are now directly affiliated as an Authorized Branch Dojo. (We are still part of Midland Ki Federation.) We received the official recognition items (an official photo of our style founder and a "Ki" character he brushed) at the seminar in Frederick. We are the only Shinshin Toitsu Aikido Kai dojo in Ohio, or the surrounding multi-state area."
