Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido (心身統一合氣道) or Ki Aikido (氣合氣道) is a Japanese gendai budo (contemporary martial art).
It is one of the arts derived from the original Aikido, appearing after the founder's death in 1969. Ki Aikido started in 1971 with the creation of the Ki No Kenkyūkai (known in English as Ki Society) by Koichi Tohei, while he was still Chief Instructor at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo. Eventually Tohei split from the Aikikai in 1974 to focus full time on his new organization. This martial art focuses on mind and body coordination and is based on aikido techniques and Japanese yoga and promote non-violent conflict solving and self-development.
