Let’s practice Ki Breathing and Relax Taiso!

Hello Torrance Aikido Club members.

We hope you and your family are doing well.  This is a tough time for all of us.  Please be safe and healthy.

Due to Covid-19, our dojo will be close down for a while.  In the meantime, you can always practice Ki Breathing and Relax Taiso to keep you calm.

For practicing the Relax Taiso (Oneness Rhythm Exercise), you can learn from the following link is on our website as below:

Oneness Rhythm Exercise

 

For practicing Ki Breathing, the below link is helpful, which is one of the Maui Ki-Aikido online classes with Curtis Sensei recently on 03/20/2020.  Maui Aikido is also temporarily closed now.

Curtis Sensei explained the 5 principles of Ki Breathing from Tohei Sensei:

  1. Exhale gradually with ease.
  2. Exhale with the smallest sound possible
  3. Exhale gradually from head to toes.
  4. Inhale from the tip of your nose
  5. Calm yourself at one point.

Because this is a tough time for all of us, let’s keep ourselves calm, and stay safe and healthy.
