Reynosa sensei is in Ventura, CA--I visited there last week. He graciously invited me to participate in his level I class and watch the level II (ukemi *much* too hard for me). I had a great time, and liked his sense of humor a lot. He did a killer impersonation of a vain martial artist trying to do throws while watching himself in a mirror....
He explained that he was no longer affiliated with Seagal sensei but didn't go into detail on the reasons. "Time to move on" seems like a fair summary.
It looked like a thriving dojo to me--lots of enthusiastic students of varied levels, adults and kids. One of his young students has to have been the best young swordsman I've ever seen.
