Kokikai Durango provides training in Kokikai Aikido, a Japanese martial art and practical self-defense system. A modern evolution of Aikido, Kokikai uses throws, take downs, and joint locks performed with a coordinated mind-body to quickly redirect the energy of attacks. Practitioners develop a state of profound calm, energy and focus, which allows them to achieve maximum effect with minimum effort. Kokikai uses traditional training to build serious, modern self-defense skills while supporting positive personal development that is valuable in all aspects of life.
Training includes empty hand techniques, weapon defense, weapons practice with bokken (sword), jo (short staff) and tanto (knife), ukemi skills (attacking, falling, rolling), and techniques in Ki breathing, meditation and acupressure.
