Really? But look at his curriculum. The five basic controls:
Ikkyo - First teaching.
Nikyo - Second teaching
Sankyo - Third teaching.
Yonkyo - Fourth teaching.
Gokyo - Fifth teaching.
Look at the aikiken of Saito:
Ichi-no-tachi - Sword one.
Ni-no-tachi - Sword two.
San-no-tachi - Sword three.
Yon-no-tachi - Sword four.
Go-no-tachi - Sword five.
Kimusubi-no-tachi - Sword of Ki Binding.

Hello Josh,
Part of the issue here is general nomenclature for certain
waza or
kata. Where is the evidence that the items in the above curriculum were actually used by O Sensei himself?
Best wishes,
