Recommended Reading

Ki in Daily Life (Koichi Tohei)
A remaster of Tohei sensei’s original publication of 1978. An excellent introduction to the concepts of Ki and Ki testing.
Aikido Exercises for Teaching and Training (Carol Shifflet, Virginia Ki Society)
One of the very few handbooks that I can recommend that pictorially show the many hitori waza exercises, terminology, and techniques that are practiced in Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido.
