La relación entre profesor y alumno es uno de los aspectos más importantes del Ki Aikido.

Es una relación construida sobre la confianza, el compromiso, el respeto mutuo y sostenida por el Ki.

Cuando ambos abordan la práctica con sinceridad, se convierten en espejos el uno para el otro, ayudándose mutuamente a crecer y desarrollarse.

En el proceso, revelan tanto la belleza del arte como la realidad de la naturaleza humana. De una forma u otra, el espejo refleja lo que está ahí.

Si estamos dispuestos a verlo, la lección puede ser invaluable.

The teacher-student relationship is one of the most important aspects of Ki Aikido.

It is a relationship built on trust, commitment, mutual respect, and sustained by Ki.

When both approach practice with sincerity, they become mirrors for one another, helping each other grow and develop.

In the process, they reveal both the beauty of the art and the reality of human nature.

One way or another, the mirror reflects what is there. If we are willing to see it, the lesson can be invaluable.

Cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles,
en lugar de lamentarnos por lo que no podemos hacer,
debemos centrarnos en lo que sí podemos hacer y actuar poniendo todo nuestro esfuerzo en ello.

Esto es lo que significa extender el Ki.

When is getting difficult,
instead of lamenting about what we can’t do,
we should focus on what we can do and
act by putting all our effort into it.

This is what it means to extend Ki.

“Correction shapes behavior for a moment, but connection shapes character for a lifetime.”

As Ki Aikido instructors, we need to remember this. With students, it’s easy to focus on correction, but that only touches the surface.

The art is transmitted through Ki connection.
The connection between student and sensei should be honest and lasting.
That’s what creates deep change in the subconscious mind.

As a student, I’ve felt the difference. I still carry teachings from 15 years ago. They stayed inside me, blossomed over time, and now guide me clearly. For that, I’m grateful to the dedicated and honorable teachers I’ve had🙏.

The power of correct posture.

Ever since I started practicing Ki Aikido, I dreamed of visiting Japan to experience how this way of living in harmony with the Universe is truly embodied. It finally happened, a dream come true!

We received the invitation last year to attend a 3-day Ki Aikido seminar this May at the Nippon Budokan in Katsuura, organized by the Northwest Ki Federation, led by Calvin Tabata Sensei, and held by Shinichi Tohei Sensei, president of the Ki Society and successor of Master Koichi Tohei Sensei, along with his top instructors.

We decided to go, no matter what and I’m so glad we did. We learned lessons beyond words, lived soul-warming experiences, and came back with a new perspective on life.

A few reflections that stayed with me:
1. The etiquette we learn in Aikido is simply part of daily life in Japan—people bow, thank, and act with sincerity, everywhere, all the time.
2. Adapting teaching for different cultures is fine, but the art has one standard. Our practice should evolve from it, not around it.
3. Key reminders:
– Ki connection transcends the dualities of right/wrong, good/bad, winner/loser, the relativity of cultures, languages, backgrounds, and disarms control and imposition on people.
– Unity of mind and body is the true measure of our practice. Mind leads body. Ki goes first.
– Move as one calmly, continuously, and with precision. Cutting Ki is not an option. There’s no room for sloppiness either.

We had a special class yesterday: two couples experienced Ki Aikido for the first time.

I was humbled by the feedback we received this morning from one of them🙏

Sometimes, I also need reminders of how much potential this art holds to reshape the way we experience life on Earth. It doesn’t have to be a struggle.
