Morihiro Saito Sensei - History in Brief part 4
Saito Sensei continued the tradition of apprenticeship that he himself had
experienced by running the “uchi-deshi” or live-in student system in the
Iwama Dojo. In this way, people were able to live and breathe Aikido in
the same dojo that the founder of the art had built and trained in. This
gave students from all over the world not only an exceptional opportunity
to train the techniques of Aikido in the actual dojo of the founder, but
also to get a taste of the culture to which these techniques and adherent
principles belong. With Japanese and foreign Aikido practitioners
training, working and living together, this was truly a wonderful example
of sharing the rich cultural heritage of Budo, in its traditional form,
with the people of the world.
