Shin Shin To Itsu Aikidô is Japanese budô. It is an art rooted in the martial arts and esoteric disciplines of Japan. The word Aikidô can be translated as "Way to Union with Ki". In this context, Ki can be understood as the basis for the natural universe. Aikidô was founded by Ueshiba Morihei Sensei. Aikidô is a very powerful martial art, yet those who train in Aikidô do not seek to harm other beings.
Shin Shin To Itsu Aikidô means "Aikidô with Mind and Body Unified. This approach to Aikidô was formulated by Tohei Koichi Sensei, Founder of the Ki no Kenkyu Kai and of the Shin Shin To Itsu Aikidô Kai.

The curriculum includes unarmed arts, weapons arts, and a unique form of training called Taigi. To progress in this curriculum, students train simultaneously in Aikidô and in Ki Development.
