I am assuming, don't quote me on this, that Kinokawa is a form that follows very strictly to O-Sensei Ueshiba's teachings, not like anyone studying aikido doesn't anyways. Therefore independent would be a more "liberal" form of Aikido. I will do some research and get back to you on this, someone in my dojo should know.

I love that movie... And when I vest my flashing sword And my hand takes hold in judgement I will take vengeance upon mine enemies And I will repay those who hase me O Lord, raise me to Thy right hand And count me amoung Thy saints ."

It is an awesome movie, isn't it? I can't wait until the sequel comes out. It's going to be called "All Saint's Day", hehehe. Anyone here a Catholic by the way? I hardly ever go to mass anymore but it would be nice to talk to others and commisserate about going to catholic school and having the folks bring you to mass every sunday bright and early. The only cool thing about going to church was that you could drink alcohol, hehehe.

I asked a higher ranking student in my dojo, and this is what he emailed me:
never heard of kinokawa. mebbe ask Guy sensei or google it and read away.
As for independant... Call me old fashioned but I tend to be wary of independant... Its quite possible they are not part of any national organization for a good reason- a.k.a. they are not really qualified to teach. Or they are branching out on thier own, which kinda violates the Purity of the art. (I prefer to learn many "pure" forms and let the forms coalesce within me in their own way rather than learn Joe P. Kickner's or whoever's interpretations). but who knows... mebbe Mr. independant could be the next great grand master. which leads me to the next point.
The other thing i suggest is, nationally affiliated or not... go to the dojo you are considering, train once or twice and sleep on it. Your heart will tell you what's best. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am going to ask my Sensei about it and I'll get back to you ASAP.

I found out what Kinokawa is, it's to train the person to be calm and relax themselves in and out of fights plus it trains a person to act rather then react.

I need to know something. I would like to know the following Aikido styles i'm about to list.
Aikikai, Kokikai, and Tenshin - Ryu
I would like to have a briefing of what these styles have to offer for these are the type of styles that are in my area.

Aikikai is the type that I am taking. From what I gather in my training, it's very defensive. Instead of using your own precious energy, most of the inertia from the enemy's attacks is used for your techniques. By doing this you become like water, flexible and able to overcome anything. The other two forms I don't know much about, but I will try and find out. I heard back from my Sensei about your question with Kinokawa, if you want I will tell you what he knows about it.

The aikido style I trained in was all defense. The only strikes taught were for the uke. I know some styles are more agressive, but that moves away from O-sensei's teachings.

Yeah, all the strikes done in aikido are used by uke the most. Of course, we're taught shomen and yokoman strikes with bokken and the like, but for the most part 85% of the strikes are being done by uke. Actually, I have never performed a kick in any of my techniques, the only people in aikido that actually use kicking in their techniques are like san-dan, pretty high up there. I'm only hoping that I one day make it up to ichi-dan.

Kansetsu-waza atemi-waza nage-waza
those real throws? I've heard their names, but that's about it.. and what's an Uke? is that like a straight punch?

Not enough training. sweatdrop An uke is one who attackes for the purpose of another practicing moves, like throws, blocks and counters. 3nodding

Learning the names of all the moves is very difficult if you don't know Japanese, otherwise you would be able to name them off the top of your head. I'm trying to learn japanese on my spare time just so I can understand the names of all these moves, its madness I tell you! Uke is the person who attacks, Nage is the person who practices their technique by defending.

This way i could learn curtain phrases and I'm also learning how they're society works. The words i know are, Die, What, One, two, three, and four. there is more but i don't feel like typing it all down.

Ok..I've got a question. I'm noticiing that I'm starting to become real tense in my shoulders and it's making fighting kinda difficult. I've had the same prblem before, but it just went away after a couple days. I've now had it foor a couple weeks. Is there a certain stretch or somthing to relax the shoulders?
