Aikido Osaka Aikikai DVD 1 by Kazuo Nomura

By Nomura Shihan, Chief Instructor of Osaka Aikikai

Ki moves the body, and body and Ki are one. This is one of the fundamental principles of both Aikido and Budo.

In this first volume of the series, Nomura Shihan, Chief Instructor of the Osaka Aikikai, presents a clear, systematic approach to developing and expressing Ki through Aikido practice. Rather than focusing solely on technique, he demonstrates how proper movement, posture, timing, and intention work together to cultivate the natural flow of Ki throughout the body.

Each chapter introduces different techniques designed to illustrate specific aspects of Ki development. Although the techniques vary, the underlying principles remain constant, allowing practitioners to recognize the common thread that unites every movement in Aikido. Through this progressive method, students learn not only how to perform techniques more effectively, but also how to understand the deeper concepts that give them life.

Suitable for practitioners of all levels, this instructional program provides an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of Aikido, refine your technical foundation, and unlock your full potential through the cultivation of Ki. It is an inspiring guide that will enrich both your practice and your appreciation of the true spirit of Aikido.
