Question Ryokukai Aikido?

Hello everyone,

Recently, I have decided to pursue training in Aikido. In the past, I have studied Ji Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do, Isshin-ryu Karate and Kodokan Judo. The nearest Aikido dojo in my area teaches a style known as Ryokukai. I performed a search on this site, as well as others. However, I was unable to find much information.

Can anyone provide information on the difference between Ryokukai Aikido vs other styles of Aikido? If so, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I might move out of state within the next year or two. Is it likely that non-Ryokukai Aikido dojos/organizations will recognize my rank, if there are no Ryokukai Aikido dojos in my new area. The said style of Aikido does not appear to be as widely common within the Aikido community.

Thank you in advance for your assistance,
