Im just curious if anyone has ever been "uchideshi", a "live in" student ?

 

The reason I ask is because from time to time, one of my masters comes to live with me for a while. Hes very "eccentric", and life around the house is like a non-stop training session.....theres always a lesson being learned about something, not to mention him always attacking me.....lol......I keep weapons literally all over the house, and last night, upon my arrival home from work at 330am.....he leaps out of the shadows and starts attacking me with the shinai that we had been working with that afternoon......I had to throw someone out of the bar towards the end of the night, so my adrenaline was still going, and we had quite a little battle in my living room....lol......needless to say.....my forearms are a little sore from getting smashed with that damn shinai which he had tightened all the way so it was nice and hard......

 

Anyway.....back to the point.....has anyone ever lived with a master ?.....what were your experiences like ?

I would hate to have noone respond to your thread MJ, so here's SOMETHING at least! :P

 

I've had a couple of student stay at my place for short periods (days to weeks), but not in the sense you're talking about. While they were here, we trained quite a bit and I showed them things that I hadn't really showed anybody else at that point.

 

It was kind of nice actually. :karate:

wow, thats cool MJ, i hope i'll have that kind of opportunity in the future. How long does your master usually stay at your place?

Our master only invites the adult female students for in house training.

 

This making all of us what to become a master someday!!!!!

I have never been an Uchideshi, nor do I know anyone who has been one. However, I'd like to get the chance to be a "live-in" student someday, even if was only for a week or so.

 

The story about your master jumping out on you with a Shinai - that's great! It reminds me a little of me and a friend of mine, who also does karate. Everytime I go round to her house or she comes to mine we always seem to end up doing some training together, even if it's an impromptu battle with a couple of nitonbo! :)

he leaps out of the shadows and starts attacking me with the shinai that we had been working with that afternoon

hehe, reminds me of the movie, "Pink Panther."
