What is YOKI™?

Yoki is a synergy of yoga, breathing, meditation, chi kung, health balancing, and martial arts principles.

Our new comprehensive courses in this system cover each of the seven chakras of the body and can be completed entirely at home through a series of in-depth training videos. You can also supplement your practice with live-streaming lessons with an instructor.

Each course is designed to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit. They will enhance your health, flexibility, range of motion and mental well-being.

A Tribute to Kasi

Kasi, my beautiful wife and partner for life, passed away at 5:14pm, March 4th, 2025. She suffered a major brain hemorrhage on Friday Feburary 28th, right after teaching an awesome White Crane seminar in Orlando.

Just before she left me, one of the most amazing things happened, which even the doctor said they had never witnessed. When Kasi stopped breathing and her heart was barely beating, I gave her a last kiss on the lips and said my goodbyes. At that moment, she opened her left eye and stared right at me. She had not opened her eyes since being rushed to the hospital on February 28th. I guess she wanted to see me with her physical body one more time. 


Kasi was the most amazing gentle warrior ever to walk the earth. She was filled with compassion and love and touched so many people’s lives. She was my twin flame, soulmate, best friend, and companion for the past 30 years. I am heartbroken by her passing.

In lieu of sending flowers, and to honor and cherish her memory - I encourage you to get the video she made for the art she created called Yoki. This video is a testament to her beautiful spirit and zest for spirituality. She also produced a Women’s Combative’s Course that is an inspiration for practical self defense and personal security. These videos will give you the opportunity for an everlasting connection to her work as an exceptional martial arts instructor and spiritual teacher.

  • Kyoshi Kasi Vellucci is wicked smart and tons of fun to train with. I am constantly surprised at her sagacious fountain of knowledge and desire to share it. Kyoshi Kasi has a perspicacious ability to read her students. She knows when they need a compliment and when they need correction. She sees something in you that you don’t and pushes you to be greater than you thought you could be. She is one of my top favorite people in the whole world, and I am truly honored to call her my sensei.

  • Kyoshi Kasi Vellucci is a phenomenal martial artist and teacher. She combines her years of experience and her knowledge of multiple disciplines in a way that is easy to understand. As a fellow female martial artist I appreciate her patience, incite, encouragement, and empowerment. 

    I have found friendship, respect, validation, and camaraderie in the Kobukan Karate Federation family. I highly recommend joining to any martial artist who desires an in-depth study from a historical perspective.
