The
Aiki Institute of Spokane is dedicated to furthering the teachings of
the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, using the methodology passed on
by Toyoda shihan, and to developing new opportunities that expose
people to the transformative spirit of Aiki, creating a community
living in harmony.
We accomplish these goals by; providing high quality training in
traditional martial and aesthetic arts, taking the foundations of these
trainings and adapting them to the needs of our community in creative
and engaging programs, and providing leadership by example.
The Ki Center provides a setting for training in traditional martial
arts such as Aikido, Kendo, Iaido, Karate; movement arts such as Yoga,
Qi Gong, Tai Chi; aesthetic arts including Ikebana, Shodo, Sumi-e; and
meditative arts. Future plans include the incorporation of healing
practices such as massage therapy, acupuncture, and various forms of
traditional healing, wellness, and energy centering arts.
We develop and implement workshops and programs providing creative
solutions to conflict, communication, support of mental health,
reduction of addictions, community building, leadership, and potential
realization.
Staff and students are encouraged to provide community service in the
form of volunteering in the local community and are challenged to
incorporate their training in the simple actions that make up every day
life, thus leading society into creating a more peaceful and healthy
community, nation, and world.
