Ki to the CityAikido and music, two harmonic artsOn this episode,My talk with Liam Robertson, musician and aikidoka (Aikido of Petaluma), moved pretty deftly (if I do say so myself) into an exploration of the profound philosophical and physical resonances between these two harmonic arts.We got into a sound discussion (get it?) on the many parallels between Aikido and music, ultimately recognizing them both as empowering disciplines that refine our natural emotional expressions, offering the opportunity, through harmonic shifts, to move beyond “ego.”A further focus on authentic, present expression led us into the realm of somatics, specifically Liam’s unde...

Ki to the CityOn Gentle PowerHow does embracing our body’s non-cognitive intelligence offer us infinite pathways to creativity and conflict resolution that our overthinking minds cannot?This week, I had a vivifying conversation in which we traverse that very question.I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Dr. Elisabet Lahti, a brilliant researcher and educator from Helsinki, Finland.Dr Lahti is world-renowned for studying and celebrating the ancient Finnish concept of Sisu, which she describes as Somatic Resilience: the universal human capacity to endure under pressure and take action against slim odds, unearthing courage from deep wi...

If it doesn’t feel relevant, then what’s the point?That led us to discuss the perpetually challenging state of our home dojo, Bond Street—the perils of toughing it out in NYC.This is one of the more down-t...

Ki to the CityYou might be wondering, ‘how’s that book coming along?’I don’t know if you remember, but a few weeks ago I said I wanted to focus more attention on Aikido, on my guests—and less on my “self.”To that end, I decided to channel my more experimental and personal literary ambitions into a forthcoming book (tentatively titled Non Prophet Bourgeois Samurai).This Substack, after all, is called “Ki to the City,” right? It should be about promoting Aikido, not getting hijacked and subsumed by exercises in lyric essay exposition.The Aikido aspect of my life is going pretty well (thanks for asking...

Ki to the CityClassical Aikido: The Legacy of John Stevens and Rinjiro Shirata SenseiOn July 21 of this year, the world of martial arts and Eastern philosophy sadly marked the passing of John Stevens Sensei.Stevens Sensei was much more than an Aikido instructor; he was a scholarly interpreter, a literary bridge connecting esoteric traditions of Japan with a global audience seeking a pathway to harmony and peace.With over forty books to his name, Stevens Sensei’s enduring impact stems largely from his ability to synthesize these disciplines, consciously writing about the philosophical and spiritual facets of Budo to create a profound body of work.John St...

We did a lot of weapons and jiyu waza, which was fun and selfishly good for me, but not beneficial for the overall well-being of the dojo.We need some more mem...

Ki to the CityThe center seems to occupy a non-existent spaceI realize I’ve been writing about myself too much lately.Honestly, it’s mostly because whenever I try to write about someone else, I can never know for sure if I'm being truthful or not.When I attempt to characterize other people—especially those I’ve never known—I can only rely on secondhand, often contradictory, sources.The challenge lies in navigating discrepancies, weighing the credibility of different narratives, and ultimately sculpting a portrait that acknowledges the ambiguity inherent in depending on information passed along linguistically.I don’t have time for all...

Ki to the CityConjuring Harmony and WonderOn this episode of Ki to the City, I was blessed to have an absolutely extraordinary conversation with Dennis Kyriakos.I first met Dennis back in 2002, at the very beginning of my Aikido journey, and it’s due to a wondrous synchronicity that our paths have reconnected recently. But, I don’t want to give away too many spoilers, so please, listen to the episode for more details of that striking coincidence. A long-time Aikidoka, Dennis also conjures up wonder as a professional magician and our talk unearths some fascinating parallels between the two arts.

Ki to the City4th Generation AikidoAs “Ki to the City” approaches the six month mark, I've been reflecting, sifting through insights gleaned from conversing with the luminaries I've had the pleasure of engaging with. Personally, it's been a profoundly positive and metaphysically enriching experience for me, so far. And I sincerely hope to continue for as long as humanly possible.I've absorbed more about the intricate history and mystico-philosophical heritage of Aikido in these past six months then the previous 23 years of my training. I even found someone to teach me Chinkon Kishin. (More about that in the near future, I hope.)

She spoke about the ancient wisdom of connecting with Mother Earth by simply putting bare feet on the planet. It’s a practice she’s been doing for years, finding it to be one of the most healing things we can...

Reverend Barrish explains that just as the sun's energy begins to shift from increasing yang (activity) to increasing yin (recession) after the solstice, there are natural intervals or "kyō" in life. These intervals, he elaborates, are not merely voids but powerful spaces where transformational work can be done.
