About Chicago Ki Aikido
The Chicago Ki Society was organized in 1975 at the University of Chicago. Chicago Ki Aikido is affiliated with the Chicago Ki Society and the International Ki Society (Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido or aikido with mind and body coordination). We are the only public Ki Society club in the Chicago area.
Our Chief Instructor is Jonathan Eley, 6th degree black belt in Shin Shin Toitsu aikido aka Ki Society style aikido or Ki Aikido. We teach the Japanese martial art of aikido, weapons (wooden sword and staff) and ki development.
Ki development consists of:
