Dear Ryokukai members,

Happy New Year!

This year will be my 25th anniversary of my residency in U.S. On this turning point, we would like to undergo a complete rejuvenation of Michigan staffs. Black belts will start taking in charge of martial arts classes. As for KI breathing, Pat and his support team will lead the effort.

With vibrant energy and fresh ideas of young generations we would like to devote ourselves to help those who are in sick as an alternative healthcare. I will be focusing my effort on the refinement of KI breathing techniques and mentoring students who should succeed my techniques. The KI breathing technique we practice is the method I have developed to help patients who are fighting with difficult symptoms. It was my heart to help people that made possible to find and polish the technique. The KI breathing technique should be officially called as “Niikura breathing” to protect, promote and further develop it.

As long as there is a person who is willing to learn and practice Niikura breathing, I will travel between Japan and US as many times as possible. Rest of my time here on earth will be spent on Niikura breathing. I would be grateful for your support.

Sincerely,

Ryokukai USA Katsumi Niirura
