According to a (non japanese, but he spent lots of time in Japan) Aikido
teacher I know, this is supposed to represent "an obligation bounding student
and teacher".

To be honest, I am a bit skeptical. I know that this is the starting part of
the name of a specific "Kata" in Iwama Style Aikido (see
[here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKjGXHrko4k) for an example) but I
wonder if there is some other "esoteric" meaning or figure of speech that I am
missing.

question
translation meaning
What does "気結び" mean?
I did not know the word, but according to web search, I think that 気結び is an
Aikido (合気道) terminology to describe the feeling of unity with the teacher,
other students, and dojo itself. 気 ( _ki_ in Aikido) is a word used in Aikido
which means something like “spirit.” 結び is the noun form of 結ぶ, which is a
verb in daily use and means “to tie together.”
