Nope. Yoshinkan has its own, separate from Aikikai.
Which is not the main point I and others have made - which you seem to want to not address for some reason: how does one gain or award rank thru a politicized assoc such as the Aikikai without to some degree recognizing and participating in the politics (at very least by financially supporting via yudansha fees)? If the goal is avoiding commercialization and politics, why not simply remain unafilliated?
