KAMI : Karl Geis Sensei is a Judo, Aikido and Jodo master. He began his Aikido and Judo training at the Kodokan and Waseda University, in Japan and was the first westerner to receive his 6th Dan from Tomiki Kenji Sensei, a direct student of Ueshiba Morihei O. He trained under Tsuneko Miyake and Kenji Tomiki. In 1982, he founded the FUGAKUKAI with Takeshi Inoue Sensei and Tsuneko Miyake Sensei. This style adopted the training methods of Kenji Tomiki and a Randori system developed by Geis Sensei, abandoning the practice of competition of Tomiki Aikido. After 25 years, Geis Sensei was promoted by his organization, from 6th to 10th Dan. Some people criticize him for that. I have previously posted in this board his answer to that.
I guess you found a very good master.But time will tell.
Best regards and a good decision
