Beginners Class: Ki Aikido Auckland

A dedicated launch creates your starting point, a room full of other beginners, all taking the same first step together.
About this Event

A dedicated launch creates your starting point, a room full of other beginners, all taking the same first step together.

Your moment to start is here.

This isn't "drop in whenever." This is a dedicated BEGINNER'S LAUNCH CLASS—designed specifically for people taking their first step into Ki Aikido.

WHY THIS MATTERS

"Drop in anytime" sounds flexible, but it often means "never."

A dedicated launch creates your starting point—a room full of other beginners, all taking the same first step together. No one's ahead. Everyone's learning.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN

Ki Aikido teaches mind-body coordination—practical training that helps you:

• Manage stress when it hits, not just after
• Maintain focus despite distractions
• Build confidence from inner coordination
• Stay calm under pressure

This isn't theory. It's physical practice you can feel working immediately.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR FIRST CLASS

Part 1: Standing Coordination Exercises

Basic movements that demonstrate mind-body unity. Nothing complex.

Part 2: Ki Aikido exercises with Partner

Apply learned principles with a partner. No competition. No pressure.

Part 3: Breathing & Mind-Body Principles (seated)

Simple, accessible practice. No prior experience needed.

Part 4: Open questions

Throughout: questions encouraged, breaks as needed, individual attention provided.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

• Complete beginners (no martial arts experience needed)
• Anyone dealing with stress, scattered focus, or lack of confidence
• All ages welcome (15s to 70+)
• All fitness levels (no athletic ability required)
• People who want practical tools for daily life, not just physical exercise

WHAT TO BRING

Comfortable clothes you can move in (tracksuit, yoga clothes, etc.)

Open mind

No equipment needed. No uniform required. No special gear.

ABOUT KI AIKIDO

Ki Aikido is a Japanese practice developed by Koichi Tohei Sensei, combining:

→ Aikido (founded by O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba)

→ Shin Shin Toitsu Do (mind-body coordination principles)

Focus: stress management, mental clarity, confidence—not fighting or self-defense.

This is the first dedicated Ki Aikido organization in New Zealand, founded by Cristian Filimon Sensei (4th Dan, 15+ years of practice).
