Two direct students of Tri Sensei and one of them also studied weapons with Pat Hendricks.... I'd give it a shot.

Most important (to me anyway) is whether you like what is being taught there enough to make the commitment to come back week after week. It doesn't matter what their pedigree is or how well respected and knowledgable they might be, if you don't enjoy it in some way and get something out of it then you won't stick with it.

Try it for a bit, keep an open mind, and see what you think. If the dojo atmosphere just doesn't suit you, let them know. The martial arts community is relatively small and they may be able to steer you someplace that has what you want.
