    Description

    National governing body for aikido in Portugal, constituted on 7 September 1990 as the Federação Portuguesa de Aikido Aikikai (FPAA). After the Federação Portuguesa de Aikido e Disciplinas Associadas (FPADA) dissolved itself, the FPAA negotiated the integration of the remaining Portuguese aikido associations and was renamed Federação Portuguesa de Aikido (FPA) in 1995. It regroups the various Portuguese aikido schools and associations, holding public-utility sports status, and is recognised by the Aikikai Foundation, which issues its grading certificates.

      Aikikai grades and instructor titles in Portugal flow through the FPA, which is a member of the Aikikai Foundation; the CAO interview with former FPA president Luís Antunes confirms the technical link to the Hombu Dojo
      The evidence establishes the claim: it is sufficient and consistent, and any conflicting evidence is resolved.

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