Koichi Tohei Books & DVDs

Koichi Tohei (1920-2011) was a prominent figure in the world of martial arts and an influential figure in the development of aikido. Born in Tokyo, Japan, Tohei began his martial arts journey at a young age, studying judo and kendo during his youth.

In the 1940s, Tohei joined the Aikikai Hombu Dojo and became one of the early students of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido. Tohei quickly became known for his dedication, skill, and exceptional understanding of the principles behind aikido. He trained diligently under Ueshiba and eventually became one of his most accomplished students.

Tohei's unique contributions to aikido lie in his exploration and development of ki (energy) principles. He developed a teaching method known as "Ki no Kenkyukai" or "Ki Society," which aimed to promote the understanding and application of ki in aikido techniques and daily life. Through Ki Society, Tohei emphasized the importance of developing one's mind and spirit, along with physical techniques, in the practice of aikido.

The very first 10th dan certificate issued by the Aikikai to Koichi Tohei in 1969.

Tohei's dedication to spreading aikido and his teachings led him to travel extensively both within Japan and internationally. He conducted numerous seminars and demonstrations, sharing his knowledge and inspiring countless practitioners around the world. Tohei's approach to aikido focused not only on its martial aspects but also on its potential for personal growth, harmony, and self-realization.

In addition to his contributions to aikido, Tohei also authored several influential books, including "Ki in Daily Life" and "Kiatsu." These books aimed to make the concept of ki accessible to a wider audience and provided practical guidance on incorporating ki principles into daily life.

Koichi Tohei's impact on aikido and the martial arts community as a whole cannot be overstated. He played a pivotal role in spreading aikido globally, introducing it to new generations of practitioners, and emphasizing the importance of ki and mind-body coordination. Tohei's teachings continue to resonate and inspire practitioners of aikido and other martial arts disciplines to this day, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of martial arts.
