Welcome to the British Ki Society
Dojos in the British Ki Society practise Ki Aikido as developed by the late Doshu Kenjiro Yoshigasaki.
Everyone imagines the future in order to create one’s future. Everyone should imagine different way. That is why it is useless to discuss or consult others. You can just learn from other’s imagination to improve your imagination without criticising and judging others.

Kagami Biraki Certificate Presentation
Sensei Jayesh Karadia and Sensei David Royle were presented with their certificates by Shihan Philip Burgess at the Coventry Ki Society Dojo on Saturday 14th February 2026. You can find out more about Kagami Biraki here.
The certificates for 5th dan and above are hand-written on a type of Japanese paper called `Kochi`. This high-quality paper is hand-made and contains 50% Kozo fibers [from the mulberry tree].
The certificates have two red stamps on them. The large stamp is the Ki No Kenkyukai stamp. The smaller one is Shihan Burgess’ stamp with his surname. This stamp or `Hanko` was made in Kyoto by a master craftsman and is registered with the Japanese government.
