Recently, my brother (whom is living temporarily in New Hampshire) said that when he gets back to Tampa, he wants to start training in Aikido with me. I told him, "Why wait??" and found some links to send him via e-mail regarding some dojos in his area. I'm not sure I'm happy with what I have found. Can anyone let me know what they think of these dojos based on their websites I have included below?? It's the senseis that "bother" me. The dojos that are not included with a website are listed with their general info, and I tend to lean towards them because they seem more formal and traditional. The University club concerns me because they seem to have more interest and training in Judo rather than Aikido, and therefore I am a little sceptical about their qualifications. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~aiki/

The other website is to a dojo that is founded by a sensei that seems to have dark interests. http://www.blacksword.net/
