suikido is a discipline of the living body, held in three practices: bodywork, movement, and martial art. the human body is the ground they share.

The work is physical and conducted in direct contact. Each practice addresses the body under different conditions — therapeutic, kinetic, martial. Together they form one understanding of how the body is built, how it moves, and how it acts.

The body SUIKIDO works with is the human animal  bone, muscle, tissue, and nervous system, standing on the ground it is made of. The human body is subject to the same forces that move through every living thing. This is the ground: the body as a living system  governed by natural principles.

SUIKIDO 水氣道 is three characters. Each names a governing principle of practice.


SUI 水 — Water. It enters, sustains, and descends to the root.

KI 氣 — Energy. It moves, activates, and propels life.

DO 道 — Path. It holds its ground and enacts through form.


Three governing principles. One name. The discipline takes its name from the principles by which it works.
