The basic numbers are all below along with a few examples. To
get a number like 13, all you have to do is put a 3 (san) after
the 10 (ju). You get ju-san. To get numbers like 23, you would
put a 2 (ni) in front of the 10 (ju) and then add a 3 (san) to
the end, and you get ni-ju-san. This is how you get all the numbers.
The Aikido counting system is the the exact same as the Japanese,
because Aikido was developed in Japan.
