Re: Want to learn Aikido, any helpfull info
In regards to the kenjustu, I would go back and ask the instructor to explain what he/she meant. It may mean that they teach some kenjutsu but do not or cannot offer ranking. Either way if you are confused have it clarified.
I don't know how common it is for high ranking instructors to not know about different aikido styles but I am confident that there are a lot more styles that most would know about. I wouldn't hold this against him.
Whether or not training there would be a waste of your time is hard to say. It sounds like you were not satisfied with his/her answers. I would go to class and get on the mat a few times and judge for yourself if what is being taught is what you are looking for. Keep an open mind and go for the experience.
