About two years ago I believed I needed to commit myself more fully to the study of aikido. With this in mind I started training with Mal Sensei in the mornings in addition to my regular training sessions in another school. After a short period of time it became apparent that having feet in two different school’s did not aid my aikido, but rather forced me to choose the style that best suited me. It was a difficult choice at the time because I was already a Nidan with the other style and had trained with them for 8 years.
I chose ki fusion Aikido because to me this style was more in tune with the principles of O’Sensei and it included more training in the application of ‘ki’ than any other aikido style I have seen. The mastery of ‘ki’ as demonstrated by Mal Sensei is phenomenal and it inspired me to look deeper within my own training.
