Re: Want to learn Aikido, any helpfull info

I'm not sure who really teaches Tenshin aikido. Matsuoka went back to Japan and is now on his own when he returned. I understand Seagal was not actively teaching but I could be wrong. There is an instructor who has set up an association but I don't really know if they are affiliated with Seagal or not-I know the instructor shows up on the AAA website and was recently promoted to 5th dan by a Japanese Budokai organization I believe-if he's a student of Seagal why is he going outside for rank? Friends in AAA say he still has dealings with AAA-I don't know what that means.
