Welcome to the Vancouver Ki Society

The Vancouver Ki Society is a non-profit educational service organization established in 1985 to spread Ki Principles, Kiatsu® and Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido as taught by Master Koichi Tohei. The Vancouver Ki Society is affiliated with the Northwest Ki Federation, headed by Calvin Tabata Sensei, and the Ki Society International.

VKS provides a traditional Japanese dojo environment for students of all ages and abilities. Each student is encouraged to train at the individual level appropriate for their growth. We view training as an ongoing process emphasizing personal direction and development. Ki Society training helps us to live positively and excel in a rapidly changing world.
