Join us as we welcome Kashiwaya Sensei for a weekend of focused Ki & Ki Aikido training sessions for adults, teens, and children. Classes are open to everyone with basic Aikido experience regardless of affiliation or style.

This learning opportunity marks Sensei’s 51st year in Ki Aikido and one of Sensei’s last regularly scheduled visits to Colorado—ever.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to train with one of the most accomplished Ki Aikido instructors and practitioners in the world today!

This may well be one of the last times for you to practice with Kashiwaya Sensei in Colorado, as he has announced he will be retiring in 2020.

Join us as we celebrate Sensei’s 70th year of life!

As Chief Instructor and founder of Midland Ki Federation (MKF)—RMKS’ umbrella organization, comprised of more more than 25 dojos across the USA, Canada, and Brazil—Kashiwaya Sensei is one of the few full-time Aikido professionals in the United States.

Kashiwaya Sensei— long-time uchideshi (live-in apprentice) with Soshu Koichi Tohei Sensei in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s—has practiced for more than 50 years and taught thousands of students for nearly as long. A major emphasis in his teaching, in these last few years as Chief Instructor, is the development of the next generation of instructors and leaders for Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido Kai in Japan.
