“So, when I came back to Lisbon, I decided to form this group. However, because of the lack of money [...] I could only do it in 1989. That happened 20 years ago.”

    APASD operated within the Aikikai system from its founding in 1989 until Hitohiro Saito's separation from the Aikikai in 2003, with ranks issued through the Aikikai, per two interviews with Tristão da Cunha; own account only
    The evidence favours the claim and nothing credible contradicts it, but it falls short of establishing it.

    Confirmed
    After Hitohiro Saito founded Iwama Shin-Shin Aiki Shuren-kai (ISSASK) in February 2004, APASD became recognised by ISSASK, whose head confers the dan grades on APASD's technical director; the enriconeami article records the VIII dan Dentō Iwama Ryu conferred by Saito Hitohira Jukucho
    The evidence establishes the claim: it is sufficient and consistent, and any conflicting evidence is resolved.
