Ki Class with Chinn sensei, May 6th

On May 6th, Ki Class was head instructed by Clarence Chinn Sensei, Chief instructor of Southern CA Ki Society.  

Ki Class is not only focused on techniques, strength or weakness, but focus more on learning how to coordinate our mind and body. 

The ultimate purpose of our study is to unify mind and body and become one with the Universe.  The Ki Classes help us moving forward to the goal. 

 

Ki Saying #10

“There is no conflict in the Absolute Universe, but there is conflict in the relative world.

If we unify our mind and body, become one with the Universe and practice its principles, others will follow us gladly.

Do not say that this is a world where we must struggle to live each day.  The true way to success is exactly one and the same as the principle of non-dissension and that is the way to peace.”
