Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.Katsuzō Nishi
The health for which Katsuzō Nishi is grateful came by struggle.
1997. The system includes a range of exercises that are designed to improve posture, breathing, and circulation, as well as techniques for relaxation and stress reduction.In addition to the exercises and techniques, the book also includes information on diet and nutrition, and how to create a healthy lifestyle.

I had to struggle for it. Nishi emphasizes the importance of natural, whole foods and recommends avoiding processed and refined foods.Overall, The Nishi System of Health Engineering provides a comprehensive guide to improving health and well-being through natural methods. What he was he owed to his original methods of health building, methods which were a precious outcome of years of careful study of nearly every theory of health and preventative medicine to be found in the world, of endless experimentation, and lastly, of a very critical examination, from the standpoint of modern medical science, of the knowledge so acquired.
He was also an aikido teacher at Aikikai Hombu Dojo hence many aikidoka were introduced to the Nishi Health System which resulted in the incorporation of certain exercises, like the fish exercise (kingyō undō, 金魚運動), into aikido and the way aikidoka took care of their health.
After the war he also advised Kisshomaru Ueshiba on reestablishing the The Aikikai Foundation after the war.
The following persons have been his most influential teachers:
These are the most notable of his students:
In this book, Nishi outlines his system which is based on the principles of anatomy, physiology, and psychology. But, leaving the story of that struggle to be told in another part of this book, I wish simply to state here that what I am today I owe to my original methods of health building-methods which are a precious outcome of years of careful study of nearly every theory of health and preventative medicine to be found in the world, of endless experimentation, from the standpoint of modern medical science, of the knowledge so acquired."
The Nishi System of Health Engineering
The Nishi System of Health Engineering is a book written by Katsuzo Nishi, a Japanese engineer who developed a unique approach to health and fitness.
The system involves exercises and techniques that are designed to improve the body's natural functions and promote overall health and well-being.The Nishi System is based on the idea that the human body has a natural ability to heal itself, and that by following certain principles and practices, we can enhance this ability. Adding to these his own theories about the dynamics of the human body based on the mechanical science he studied in his own specialty, civil engineering, he established the Nishi method of Health Optimization.
Here is what Katsudzo Nishi writes in his book:
"Sickly and weak since early childhood I was, when still a boy, given what was virtually a death sentence by a certain well-known physician: “This young fellow, I am sorry to say, will never reach the age of twenty.”
But today I am approaching the age that is three times twenty and this, be it noted, after having been actively engaged in engineering work for thirty long years and with stamina enough to have never missed a day’s work during the last twenty of these years.
This health, for which I am so grateful, however, did not come to me by chance.
It is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness, and for those interested in alternative approaches to healthcare.This is a new release of the original 1936 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
The Nishi System is a methodology for the maintenance and recovery of good health that was first introduced in 1927 by Katsuzo Nishi, who at the time was the chief technical engineer for Japan’s first subway project, the Tokyo subway.
From childhood Nishi was weak of constitution, and realizing that the medical science of the day could not cure his ailments, he independently undertook in his late teens the study and practice of what would amount to some 360 types of folk cures and health methods, both ancient and contemporary, Oriental and Occidental.
