About kokikai aikido
“ Minimum effort for maximum effect ”
Founded by Shuji Maruyama Sensei, Aikido Kokikai is an evolved, purely defensive Japanese
martial art which emphasizes “Minimum effort for maximum effect”. From
our most powerful position, we deliberately choose the most gentle, most harmonious,
most life-giving, and most EFFECTIVE resolution of conflict. We view all challenge
and conflict as an opportunity for deeper understanding, connections, and growth as we
apply the principles of Kokikai Aikido to daily life. As lifelong learners in pursuit
of excellence, we are all forever the eager student and the facilitative teacher.
San Tan Aikido Kokikai joyfully cultivates a progressively deeper understanding and
appreciation of our Divine Nature. With our kaizen approach, we passionately
synergize the Divine Potential within ourselves, our families, and our global community
in order to live and enjoy life to the fullest.
San Tan Aikido is the instrument through which we play the music of our souls. Come
dance with us to the rhythms of life!
