	Iwama style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iwama style is a name often used to describe the aikido in the lineage of Morihiro Saito, a close disciple of the founder of aikido Morihei Ueshiba for 23 years.
		A major non-Aikikai branch is Iwama Shin Shin Aiki Shurenkai, headed by Saito's son Hitohiro Saito, and a now defunct Iwama style organisation was the Iwama Ryu.
		Iwama practitioners often claim that their aikido is closest to that of the founder, as preserved by Morihiro Saito.

	Morihiro Saito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During Saito sensei’s period as a deshi he taught classes in the Iwama dojo, while some other of Ueshiba's students taught at the Aikikai Hombu.

		I was training at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo at the time, and heard stories about this "outdoor dojo" in Iwama and a legendary sensei named Saito who was teaching the classes there.

		I still can hear the sound of his footsteps approaching the dojo from his house at Iwama which was not more than fifty meters away, in the early morning for the morning class.
		The training and atmosphere at Iwama were not only different from what I had experienced at Hombu Dojo but very much the opposite.
		Naturally, Iwama wasn't a popular place to be for Hombu uchideshi due not only to the challenges they had to encounter but also the intense daily duty as uchideshi.

		I suppose you are right in that Iwama style (ryu) As long as is more a distinctive way of aikido practice as done at Iwama, particularly with regard to aiki weapons (you mention many of the instructors being proficient in traditional weapons styles).
		Being chief instructor at another dojo is not a requirement for a `style' either: the many universities and schools that associate with Abe shihan's dojo and those run by his deshi in the Osaka area all go to Iwama for gasshuku to learn there.
		The idea that Iwama style is not well immediately liked at the aiukikai HQ (`honbu', but there are many honbu of differernt styles) Though is not unique, as you probably know.
