One of Ki Societies' National Chief Instructors

Maida Sensei

As a direct, personal student of Koichi Tohei Sensei since the early 70's and spending a number of years living in Japan, Maida Sensei is uniquely qualified to instruct Ki development and Ki-Aikido     In addition to his role as Ki Instructor for the Ki Research Institute, Maida sensei is presently the Chief Instructor of the Northern California Ki Society, is an authorized examiner representing Ki Society Headquarters in Japan and holds the rank of 7th dan. It is very rare to have this level of instructor teaching full time and personally instructing most of classes in any group. Class sizes are very small with lots of personal attention.
Maida sensei is a firm believer that Ki Aikido training is beneficial for daily life. He conducts trainings for parents, students, police, incarcerated inmates, attorneys, health professionals, athletes and others who want to change how they respond to stressful situations in life.

  What workshops participants say about Maida sensei:

What I found most valuable about the training is Sensei’s captivating style and the relevance to my job of supervising in an office of attorneys and working with customers every day. ? September, 2006 Santa Clara

Your presentation was thought-provoking, informative and an important contribution to the learning environment that we encourage at our conferences. ? Michael L. Wright

I have never before received such effusive comments from our employees let alone the multitude of requests to have a second lecture. The number of employees that remained after the lecture in an attempt to learn more was an indicator to me that your message resonates deeply with our employees. - Sarah Malowitz
