International Aikido Alliance - How many dojos are in this group? Any one have a list? Are they all Tomiki?

How about the Zan-totsu Kai? Any leads?

The Alliance is a Tomiki organization made up of Fugakukai graduates. Their original council had about 8 rokudans, and about a half dozen dojos spread around the country, under the leadership of L.F. Wilkinson. They also have some seitei jyodo and Kodokan jyudou. I believe some of this group have gone their own ways.

The Zantotsukai was founded by Jaan Sunderlin, who was in the Fugakukai for a while. They have a few dojos all in the Washington state area. I think they teach jujutsu as well as Tomiki style aikido.

Let me know if you want contact info.
