Maui Ki Aikido will offer “Japanese Bokken as the Key to Mind-Body Awareness,” as a 4-week public course on Wednesday evenings, beginning February 4, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, at the Shunshinkan Dojo, 194 South Market in Wailuku.
“The Japanese look at the sword today not as a weapon of destruction, but as an object of inspiration. The importance of practicing with a bokken is not to learn how to wield a weapon. Instead it is to learn the principle of putting all of our mind and body into whatever we are holding or using, whether it be a pen, a kitchen knife, or a golf club,” according to the instructing sensei, Tracy Reasoner.
The 4-week course is $40 and can be applied to ongoing dues if the participant joins the dojo to continue training after the end of the course. For registration or more information, please call 808-357-5172 or email mauikiaikido@gmail.com.
Date: Wednesday, February 4th, 2026 to Wednesday, February 25th, 2026
Time: 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Cost: $40 for the 4-week course
