MindBody Aikido is the only aikido school in Auckland actively teaching the principles of MindBody Coordination (Shin Shin Toitsu).
Mind-body coordination, as taught by masters in Japan for centuries, allows you to practice Aikido with flow, grace, and ease. This is what it means to be "in the zone."
MindBody
Using the mind and body together creates stability and strength, and taps into hidden reserves of power. It is an approach that bypasses intellect, and enables one to learn by feeling and experience.
Aiki
Harmony with Subtle Energy (Ki), when translated to relationships and conflict situations, provides felt strategies for maintaining self-power while influencing others for mutual benefit.
Do
Do means a Way, a lifetime pursuit, exploration, and mastery of any technique - art, writing, martial arts - that eventually gives insight into one's essential self, and an abiding sense of peace and love.
