Dave,
I looked at the website,
http://www.avonkempoaikido.com/ , of the dojo in your profile. There was no information in it about who the aikido instructor trained with.
The bio says "recently promoted to 4th dan". That would mean an on-going relationship with an instructor.
On the AikiWeb dojo search page for Avon Kempo Aikido, it says "Affiliation: None". It also says "Style: Aikikai". So, probably not the AANC.
Bottom line: You should find out who your instructor trained with and who promoted him.
Regards,
