 Shin Shin Toistu Aikido is offered in the Bay Area through the Northern California Ki Society (NCKS.)  NCKS is a member of Ki No Kenkyukai (Ki Society International). The Ki No Kenkyukai Foundation was established on September 16, 1971 by Koichi Tohei Sensei.There are approximately 200,000 members worldwide. It is the only specialized organization authorized by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare. Members of the local NCKS travel to Japan and train with members all over the world at the annual World Camp. The Northern California Ki Society began as a university club in the East Bay (Berkeley) in1975, under the direction of Hideki Shiohira Sensei (7th dan). In 1983, Pietro Yuji Maida Sensei was appointed as Chief Instructor of the club. Over the years the club has evolved into a traditional dojo and authorized branch of Ki No Kenkyukai, teaching in the traditions of Tohei Sensei. We welcome beginners and Aikido-ka of any style to practice with us.  Training in Aikido for adults and children is offerered throughout the East Bay and the Bay Area in the cities of Richmond, Albany, and San Mateo.We encourage first time enthusiasts to visit our aikido classes in the East Bay. Please see our schedule.

Students of Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido train the four principles of mind and body coordination:
Keep one Point- Relax Completely - Keep Weight Underside - Ki is Extending

Let us have a Universal Mind that loves and protects all creation and helps all things grow and develop.
To unify mind and body and become one with the Universe is the ultimate purpose of our study.
