The reason I say Ikkyo, Nikyo, etc instead of Ikkajo, etc is because that is the way I have been taught. My sensei was an uchi deshi for Yonezawa Sensei. I am not sure why I am being taught -kyo instead of -kajo. Possibly to keep a better degree of understanding with Aikido. It could be out of respect to O Sensei because he was the more compassionate man over Sokaku Takeda. I am really not sure myself.

Ron, I have to agree. Sensei in an unusual practitioner. 43 years old. 40 years martial arts. USMC 4 years. Police for a number of years. Bouncer for even more. Ranked black belt (or comprable) in 4 styles. He just settled down and became a full time sensei last year.
