tufrthanu Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Well since I dont know whether or not he is training or not I will just go ahead and answer the question. First off the cross over uniforms AKA karate style are the traditional uniforms of most karate and traditional TKD styles, however, the olympic places now use the V-neck almost exclusively. If your instructor is not too strict then it doesnt really matter which style you wear. As to what you would call your instructor that can vary as well. My instructor teaches american tkd but prefers to be called Sensei...usually I just call him Mr. so-and-so or Sir. The Korean terms are as follows... Kyo Sa Nim = Assistant Instructor Sa Bum Nim = Head Instructor Kwan Jang Nim = Head of a Style or particular styles main school Do Ju Nim = Founder of a Style Hmm, I think those are right...someone correct me if they arent. Hope that answers your question Frakis. Long Live the Fighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username4 Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) i was gonna ask the other night but i was busy feelin horrable -i had my wisdom teeth removed-i have heard him say ill get back to you on this. thanks he likes to be called by his first name but i was wondering what his title was ok lemme give you an example. "hey joe ya know the other day my Sensei Evan(or Mike) Gardner showed me how to do this really hard kick"....... there thats why i asked. and i figured that was the nomal gi but the V-neck threw me off. thanks.

tufrthanu Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Well if you want to be real fancy and you are talking about your instructor you would say hey my sa bum nim said to do the block like this...however most people just say instructor.

Myst Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 lemme help wit the last part. ok what do you call your instructor(spellcheck) in TKD, a sensei,master,instructor or sumtin else? Ummm.... We call our instructor Sah Bum Nim, except when he's teaching Kubodo (My school offers both), then we just call him "Sir". When peace, like a river, attendeth my way.

steveb Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Since our head instructor/school owner is a 5th degree black belt we are expected to address him as "Master Smith". The assistant instructors are addressed as "Mister Smith" or "Mrs Smith". Res firma, mitescere nescit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
