The Federation is a group of dojos who promote traditional values and spiritual, practical Aikido with an emphasis on Ki development. We are all dedicated to the learning the way of aiki and we enjoy our practice and the company of others. We are part of Aikido Yuishinkai, Aikido without boudaries. In an atmosphere of cooperation we train not to defeat and hurt our opponent but in a way where attacker and defender both develop the way of Ai - Ki. We make visitors and new students very welcome and a sense of humour is essential. |

The Ki Federation of Australia was founded in 1995 by Sensei Christopher Hall 5th Dan. He has been practicing martial arts for over 38 years. He is indebted to all his aikido teachers and fellow students. They way of Aikido can only be discovered with help from others.
He began studying Judo in 1968 with the Masutaro Otani Society of Judo and later was part of the British Judo Council headed by Kenshiro Abbe, 10th Dan. Abbe Sensei was a student of the founder of Aikido Morihei Ueshiba a Judo champion and a master of Budo. Abbe's philosophy of KYU SHIN DO has been a great influence on our Aikido in the Ki Federation of Australia. |
A New
Beginning
In October 2004 we attended a seminar
with Koretoshi Maruyama 10th
Dan. He was formally Chief Instructor and President of the Ki Society
one of the worlds largest Aikido organisations. He is extremely well
respected and well liked throughout the world. Aikido Yuishinkai and its
philosophy of Aikido without boundaries is an inspirational idea. The open
minded and accepting nature of it members is a reflection of the original ideas
of the founder of Aikido. Maruyama Sensei and Michael Williams Sensei
truly are, "creating a path to universal harmony and world
peace." Because of this, The Ki Federation of
Australia became part of "Aikido Yuishinkai", and follow the teachings
of Koretoshi Maruyama
Sensei.
Aikido
Yuishinkai
Maruyama Sensei, who was a student of the founder of Aikido, Morihei
Ueshiba. Through his teachings we adhere to what the founder intended Aikido to
be. That is a way to peace and a
way to unite the world. Aikido
Yuishinkai was founded by Master Koretoshi Maruyama to promote universal values
and principles of peace throughout the world.
Goals and vision
statement
Students from all styles of aikido are welcome to train with us as we are non-partisan in our approach. Friendship with other dojos is encouraged in keeping with the harmonious spirit of Aikido. Aikido Yuishinkai is truly ‘Aikido without boundaries’.
The world will continue to change
dramatically, but fighting and war can destroy us utterly. What we need
now are techniques of harmony, not those of contention. The Art of Peace
is required, not the Art of War.
'Contemplate
the workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, and take all that
is good as your
own'
Morihei Ueshiba.
