The Tier hierarchy is designed in way that allows even novice players to learn the key fundamentals of aikido and then continually build up there skills, based on what they have learned.
As new techniques develop, Tiers will be added accordingly, so even the best aikido players are challenged to seek and execute these moves.

"Those who can reach the top Tiers are to be considered incredibly dynamic and lethal opponents in the aikido dojo..."
