Personally Steve, I would recommend holding off on the DVD's for a while. At least until you have a solid grounding in the style of your teacher. Then I would ask him if he has any recommendations.
I am trying to imagine what it would be like if I was teaching a beginner and they were perhaps doing something that I knew was from a different style and then finding out that they had 'learnt' it from a DVD. My question might be, "then why come to me?"
Enloy what your club and your teacher has to offer, plenty of time later on, to explore all the relative differences in the world of aikido.
