Learning Foundations

The Art

The business programs draw on lessons from Ki-Aikido – a defensive Japanese martial art that literally embodies the art of leading. Along with providing a model for constructive power in leadership and conflict resolution, Ki-Aikido teaches how to maintain a calm mind and clear mental focus under fire. Through simple yet powerful exercises participants develop the ability to perform and communicate with excellence under pressure.

The Science

Ongoing brain research sheds light on the functional interconnections among systems that underlie movement, mind, and emotion. The historic shift of scientific perspective from the separation of mind and body to the integrated functioning of mind, movement, and emotion provides insight into behavior and deepens learning that supports constructive change.
