At the present time, some psychologist and psychiatrist have made researches in the problem of “ KI ”. They say that “ KI ” is under the control of the mind and influences other's mind. Ultimately “ KI ” is the relationship between oneself and things.But it is necessary to discuss “ KI ” from the standing of physical education or “ BUDO ”. The purpose of this article is to make clear the specifics of “ KI ”, which are thought to be the most important concept in traditional theories of martial arts.To list the terms on “KI” 663 examples, which appeared in 8 literatures written by swordsmen in the “ EDO ” era, could make the theme clear.The result of this article are summarized as follows.1) Swordsmen who had attained higher perception said that “ KI ” is such as atmosphere or features of heaven and earth, and the principale to control man's motion.2) “ KI ” is the medium between mind and body or my own self and another person.3) They directed their attention, to transforming themselves, by cultivating the “ KI ”.
