The Oregon Ki Society (OKS) is a nonprofit educational service organization established in 1974 to spread Ki principles, Kiatsu®, and Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido as taught by Master Koichi Tohei. The OKS provides a traditional Japanese dojo training environment for students of all ages and abilities. The programs are led by highly skilled instructors with 10 to 40 years teaching experience. All OKS instructors are certified by the Ki Society International and receive ongoing instruction to stay current and maintain certification.

The OKS's Personal Kiatsu School teaches Master Tohei's methods for promoting physical and mental health. Created with the cooperation of Master Tohei, the Personal Kiatsu School is fully accredited by the Ki Society International Headquarters in Japan.

Master Koichi Tohei is the founder of the Ki Society International and his Ki principles are practiced worldwide. His son, Shinichi Tohei Sensei, now presides at the World Headquarters in Japan and travels overseas to teach. The Oregon Ki Society is affiliated with both the Northwest Ki Federation, and the Ki Society International.
