FOR CAMPUS + ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS

When concern is high,
response must be credible.

Students do not need another message that makes them responsible for preventing someone else’s violence. They do need access to practice that can expand awareness, boundaries, voice, options, and confidence.

Campuses and corporations need practical, responsible programming that can be reinforced over time. Power of Ki complements—not replaces—prevention, security, reporting, and survivor-support systems.

01

For participants

A practical, inclusive experience built around noticing, choosing, communicating, moving, and staying connected under pressure.

02

For organizers

A clear scope, audience-informed facilitation, participation boundaries, and a credible next-step pathway beyond the event.

03

For the institution

A memorable capability-building layer that can sit alongside ongoing prevention, wellness, safety, and survivor-support work.

01 / THE IDEA

Preparation should expand your choices—not shrink your world.

Self-defense can begin long before physical contact. It can begin with noticing an environment, honoring discomfort, creating distance, using your voice, finding an exit, or deciding that politeness is no longer the priority.

Power of Ki brings those choices into practice. Physical skill matters. So does keeping enough access to yourself to see, decide, and move.

THE FOUR PRINCIPLES

Calm is not passivity.
It is access.

Access to awareness. Access to choice. Access to the strength that can become harder to reach when pressure rises.

  1. 01

    Keep one point

    Return attention to a stable center when the moment pulls it outward.

  2. 02

    Relax completely

    Release unnecessary tension without giving up readiness or resolve.

  3. 03

    Put weight on the underside

    Stay grounded enough to receive information and move with control.

  4. 04

    Extend Ki

    Direct attention and intention beyond the immediate discomfort.

02 / THE EXPERIENCE

A room built around
what people can do next.

A Power of Ki experience starts with capability—not simply whether the room felt engaged.

01

Recognize options

Notice the environment, the body, and early signals without training constant alarm.

02

Stay connected under pressure

Practice grounding, breathwork, attention, boundaries, positioning, and voice from a place of calm.

03

Respond with intention

Use distance, movement, refusal, or physical response when the situation requires it.

03 / WAYS TO WORK

Bring the practice
where it is needed.

01 / START

90-minute workshop

An accessible introduction for orientation, awareness programming, student groups, employee teams, or special events.

02 / SIGNATURE

Two- to three-hour experience

More room for guided practice, scenario-based learning, reflection, and audience questions.

03 / DEEPEN

Four- or eight-week program

A progression designed for practice, reinforcement, deeper integration, and measurable participant feedback.

04 / EXTEND

Online foundations

Awareness, composure, boundaries, preparation, and Ki principles that support live learning.

Online training prepares and reinforces. Complete physical self-defense practice still requires appropriate supervised instruction.

BUILT TO FIT THE ROOM

Serious practice.
No performance required.

Do participants need experience?
No. The experience is designed for beginners and adapted to the audience and setting.
Is physical participation mandatory?
No. Practice is invitational, with options for observation and adaptation.
Does this replace prevention or survivor services?
No. Power of Ki is a complementary capability-building experience, not a reporting, counseling, compliance, or security program.
Can one workshop do everything?
No. A workshop can create a meaningful starting point. Multi-session and reinforcement options support deeper practice.

04 / KA’IMI KUOHA

She did not find martial arts.
She was raised inside it.

Ka’imi’s father, Sam Kuoha, was the successor to Kara-Ho Kempo. Her mother was a black belt. Training was a way of life and the beginning of a body of work that later expanded through dance, acting, fight choreography, performance, and teaching.

Today, Ka’imi is a seventh-degree black belt, university educator, performer, fight choreographer, and mother. She translates a lifetime of practice into experiences people can use in workplaces, classrooms, communities, and moments of pressure.

“Real power is not the same as force.”
