  Probable

  ISSASK emerged from a schism within the Aikikai; before Hitohiro Saito's separation in 2003-2004, Iwama-style aikido and its grading were under the Aikikai, and as such those that composed the ISSASK were Aikikai member the day before.

  The evidence favours the claim and nothing credible contradicts it, but it falls short of establishing it.

  “Today, Iwama-style aikido organisations can be found both within and outside of the Aikikai. The main non-Aikikai branch is Iwama Shin-Shin Aiki Shuren-kai, founded by Morihiro Saito's son Hitohiro Saito.”
