The Ki Development Association was founded in 1994 out of fifteen years of research by it's founder, a police officer and martial arts master , Donald P. Jeffrey. While studying various martial arts he had learned a simple internal energy technique from his master. Known as the " Unbendable Arm"  .As its name describes , it also had other distinctions. It also made ones hand very hot and very heavy.

This is the only technique that master Jeffrey had learned and it was most likely the only one his master had known. Master Jeffrey began to apply this technique , this concept , as it has become. Utilizing it in various martial arts techniques and learning other ways to utilize the energy as well.

This along with his martial arts experience lead him on a road of research that lasted fifteen years with the end result being the founding of the " Ki Development Association" and the book titled " Ki / Qi (Chi) A No Nonsense Approach To Internal Energy".  

Through his research he had read many books on the topic but the one thing most if not all did not teach was " How to do Ki". Many taught how to do exercises that would improve one's Ki / Chi , making it stronger , making it more useful.

Thus the reason, the driving force behind the Ki Development Association and his book. An association dedicated to the instruction and development on how to do Ki. Not just internal energy exercises to improve it.

His book, a self published manuscript that is only sold through the Ki Development Association is just short of 100 pages and is filled with information on how to do Ki , Qi , Chi or internal energy.

Many Aikido students have a problem when it comes to learning the " Ki Exercises" in Aikido. They are able to do the exercises in the Dojo, but once they go home and try to do them there ( The unliftable , immovable body and unbendable arm to name a few, They just can't seam to do it. Something is missing and they don't know what it is, all they know is that they can not do it away from the Dojo.

This major problem as well as others one may have when it comes to learning Ki is addressed and the problem solved.

If you watch cartoons about Ki and think that this is similar in any way. It is not and this is not for you. This is for martial artists and therapists who can use Ki techniques to improve recovery time of injuries and for the martial artist, to improve their fighting skills.

KI IN THE MARTIAL ARTS

Ki can be applied to almost any martial art, preferably one that does not use only hard fist techniques but also includes non - strength type of takedowns and control methods.

About Ki Instruction.............

Ki , contrary to belief, is very easy to learn. Our method of Ki instruction only takes hours where others take many years. The reason behind this is, all we teach is Ki. We have no other hold on our students such as bi weekly martial arts instruction , which combined with internal energy instruction can take many years.

We at the K.D.A. don't care what type of martial arts you study or if you are just a first responder or message therapist looking to add something to your training. We only plan to teach you from a few hours up to a full day. Nothing more, thus we don't hold back on any instruction so as to include it in different phases of other training such as martial arts training.  All of our Ki courses are taught privately, one on one instruction at our location in New Jersey, U.S.A.  At this time there are no tapes or DVD to learn from.

If you are interested in sponsoring a course at your location please contact us.

The Ki Master Certification......

Once a certified Ki Instructor with the K.D.A. One has the choice of registering their students that they have trained with us. The cost of a student registration is 20.00 per course. The cost of this registration can be differed directly to the student in addition to the fee the instructor charges for his / her instruction.

Why Register Your Students.....

Students can never become instructors and instructors can never become Ki Masters without registration. It is the only way the K.D.A. can keep track of ones progress and teaching skills.
