I was going to learn aikido but happened to watch a class at my local ymca and noticed the instructor wearing a hakama. I thought to myself wow aikido in a ymca! I soon found out it was daito ryu! Now before I jump in and join I want to know authentic names of legit instructors as the instructor of the ymca said his sensei is a japanese man. Now he did not give a name but I will press him later about it once I know who is real and who is not as I don't want to waste my or his time with learning daito ryu "like" techniques. I am hoping he saids his lineage is from Kondo sensei line. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as I can also go to an aikikai school that is affiliated with Yamada sensei. Thank You...by the way I live in the OH area...
