i only found one person that knows how to spell yoshinkai aikido right...
and yoshinkai is not kushida's style it is what he teach's... for one japan only recognize yoshinkai aikido...
for the most part there are only 4 style of aikido in the world... aiki kai, yoshinkai, tomiki, and ki... the others are just from people that got throwen out the group cuz there is 1 here in the state that yoshinkai striped him of everything...

Nafsirrruh Aiki Bujutsu. Created by Khalid Abdul Shakoor of Detroit. Shakoor's main instructors were Professor Florendo Visitacion/Vee Arnis Jitsu...apparently it was still called Vee Jitsu Te when Shakoor studied under him, and Seku Bomani (a student of Moses Powell/Sanuces Ryu). This is very much a hybrid style, that borrows from various forms of ju jutsu, aikido/aiki jutsu as well as other martial arts. Appearance wise it looks similar to aiki jutsu with simplified footwork and more strikes...but even that description doesn't quite do it justice.
I began my study in 1971 in Naha, Okinawa under Suenaka Sensei prior to his formation of Suenaka-ha Tetsugaku-ho Aikido in Charleston, SC. The past 7 years I have studied under Marr Sensei whos style comes from Rinjiro Shirata Sensei.
