Thanks for the post. Does anyone think Lague being kicked out would affect the school I am considering? Or should it affect my decision in joining it anyway? Would I be out of line to contact the AJJF for further details? If so please let me know. I am inexperienced regarding choosing a new school.

Sorry man, but I gotta disagree with you. He named his new style Danzan Ryu Zenyo Bujutsu. I don't think it's right to use DZR in the name of his style since he's no long affiliated with the AJJF. I might be being overly protective but I don't want anyone to associate him with DZR. It's good that he gives Okazaki credit for what he's learned but I still think he should name his style something else. I couldn't find a list or description of the techniques he's teaching so I guess I can't say whether he's teaching real DZR or not but I stand by my other opinion.

Don't worry, he didn't do anything illegal, just immoral.

Thank you. The thing is that I am already commuting to Minden, NV for my Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaijutsu class and that is a hour and 20 minute drive from Fallon. So another long commute to Reno plus being a full time college student forcludes that option for now. I think I will try Koshinkan, it is run by a black belt of LaGue's and not him personally. He is actually based in Sparks, NV. Also I found this link head of sierra jujitsu that says that the head of high sierra jujitsu got his start with the Bushidokan. Don't now if it matters just a interesting bit of info. Maybe I will try high sierra eventually. Anyway I will keep my eyes open and always be aware.

I hope you like it. Jujutsu is a lot of fun. Also iteresting, though, that Frank broke off to join the AJJF.

I agree jujitsu is alot of fun. However, I have an update. Earlier, I had almost made up my mind to join the school but I still had some doubts. I took the opportunity to ask my Sensei's advice after class tonight. His advice confirmed my own doubts and I decided to not join the school and federation. Because I don't want my martial arts to get involved in that sort of thing. And I feel I couldn't have him as an superior.

Although I'm a karate guy, I know exactly two Danzan ryu players and I can arrange an intro if yo wan to check it out.

Very strong, very fluid with great attention to detail.

Are you referring to me, I have a first brown in DZR.
