Understanding that the mystery of existence is directly related to the ki-connectedness between us all can allow us to learn techniques for influencing an audience, fellow-performers, or an opposing swordsman. And the experience of practising these same techniques enhances our own creative flow and powers of collaboration.
Kigaku – - – the study of ki – - – is a part of most traditional Japanese arts – - – comprising a rich body of practice and wisdom: ki-flow, kizeme, working with our ki-body…
Practising these traditional exercises in the sacred dojo space, constructed according to mikkyo principles, is in itself a powerful and revelatory experience, and a making contact with the roots of Suzuki actor training, and of many gendai martial arts.
Practised as a ‘do‘, a Way, kigaku is a gateway to the mysterious: monji yugen kigaku-ho – A returning to the roots of the ancient (ken-no-michi) to deepen the modern (Suzuki-ho).
