Actually not - the JAA/USA does. The Japan Aikido Association does have a question/answer period at the end of the grading. A few non-Japanese have been asked to submit a written essay and I figure I will be asked to next time but so far I have avoided it.
Its a minor quibble but the JAA/USA as an associated national organisation.
