I know i have asked this question before but id like to find a legit aikijutsu school in chicago i found one the gorin no dojo www.chicagobudokai.com but im not to sure about it. some people have said it looks fishy and no one could tell me anything about Yamate-ryu.
I first came in contact with the term Yamate ryu through the writings of Bernie Lau an aikidoist who later trained with local aikijujutsu practitioners such as Lovret and Ibarra (and I believe Angier). Probably this practitioner has some connection to one of these people. It is a pretty generic sounding term. I think that all those people teach real waza but as for there lineage etc. I'll leave that up to people who know them better.
I've studied with this group and at this dojo since August of 2000. Good people, good times. The best thing to do, is go watch a class and decide for yourself.
