HOKEI is a pattern of movements and techniques, originally put together by theories of mental and physical health and as a practise for "free fight" without opponent.
HOKEI is a very important part of Taido. HOKEI practise improves balance, power, and smoothness in techniques and is a very good physical and mental workout.
The first five HOKEI's practised are based upon the five basic movements in Taido, Sen, Un, Hen, Nen and Ten. Later the HOKEI's become more advanced in a sense that they concentrate on different initiative from the opponent and apply techniques to handle the situation. Taido also has breathing HOKEI's, which are based upon the same principles as Tai Chi.
There are competitions in HOKEI, where two people perform their HOKEI at the same time and three judges decides who performed better.
