| Having spent 24 years at the side of the founder, Morihiro SAITO Sensei, 9th Dan, is the one who studied the longest under O Sensei's guidance.
He is the only true Aikido weapons specialist and his way of teaching the use of these weapons has become the benchmark for the whole world. Equally an incomparable expert with bare hand techniques, Master SAITO emphasises the relationship between these two forms of training, respecting as he does the true basis of Aikido created by UESHIBA Sensei.
