Ok, I found this site http://www.ninjutsu.com/abdrankinglist.shtml and some of the people I listed above are on this list.

Christopher Davy - rankdan: 10th
Joseph S. Morris II - rankdan: 2nd

Is this a legit list? Sorry for all the questions and I really appreciate any help.

Chris Davy is about as serious a student of Bujinkan that you can find. He does show up to Japan whenever he can. He trains with Shiraishi. I thought he was still in Maryland and not West Virginia. If he says he is a tenth dan, I am not even going to bother checking since he would never lie.

The others I do not know about, and that is not saying anything bad about them since I don't know a lot of people.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

I live in WV and I've been researching the schools and anything MA related I can find because I'm ready to start training again. I used to go to this one place for quite some time but I'm not sure if it's what I want to get into again, but my options are extremely limited. There are some different places but after some research I have some serious doubts about them.

That info about Mr. Davy is helpful to me as well because I may train at his dojo when I move back to the US. Thank You.

Well, I just found this:
Capital Area Bujinkan
Shidoshi Christopher Davy
Waldorf, Maryland
Phone: (301) 352-4345

Plus I found the mileage to Lost River, WV and that is almost a 6 hour drive for me if he is even still there.

Train there. Six hour drive is not too much to pay for what he can teach. Chris is a close freind of Jeff Mueller. Both of them are excellent teachers and know their stuff. I have not trained with Chris however, Jeff Rocks.
Ask Chris about the Aikido Dude and the unmovable arm.

I have no information on the other two gentlemen though Chris may help you out.

Thanks!!! I sent an email asking about training here in WV so now I'm just waiting for a response. I've been thinking about signing up for a place that teaches Aikido here and something like that once a week (i have a 9-5 M-F job) would be great.

When you send an e-mail to Yume Dojo, all it does is add you to the Capital Area Bujinkan Yahoo Group. Shidoshi Meuller, however will respond to your e-mail, so try contacting Mr. Davy through him.
Hope this helps.
Your buyu,
Jibran Khan
