why flip the sword in the end before sheething it (not when it is swung around and onto the shoulder but in the hands)? is it just a formal ending for a kata or does it have a deeper purpose?
Grandmaster translated to Soke in Japanese and would fall on the shoulders of the Iizasa family.
There is no record of Sugino san being a grandmaster of anything if you check for example with the Nippon Budokan or with the Iizasa family. Sugino made his own style of Katori shinto ryu heavily infulenced by Aikido and gendai budo (i have no problem with that) and thus would be the Kansho of his Sugino system...

There is no way around that.

Sorry but... Sugino sensei is not the grandmaster.
He may be the Kaicho of his own style but not of TSKSR by any standard.

He is grandmaster of Sugino Dojo, but the headmaster of TSKSR is Risuke Otake.
Grandmaster...headmaster :-D
