Through kamae Centre Power is born. The first step is to understand and practice kamae. There is nothing you can do to develop kokyu ryoku, but practice aikido diligently with the right spirit and by training to develop the first two principles. kokyu ryoku cannot be taught. It develops naturally from continual training. Posted by Sensei Stephen Ohlman.

Despite what many people think or claim, there is no unified philosophy of Aikido. What there is, instead, is a disorganized and only partially coherent collection of religious, ethical, and metaphysical beliefs which are only more or less shared by Aikidoists, and which are either transmitted by word of mouth or found in scattered publications about Aikido.

Aikido improves Flexibility, Coordination, Relaxation and Self Defence. The focus is the teaching of Aikido according to the didatic system developed by Shihan Masatomi Ikeda Sensei 7th Dan.
