what makes a good sensei?

[koreantiger81]

i believe the best sensei is one that gives alll of his/her students personal attention and advice every class...I'm strongly opposed to the traditional masters that just physically work and drill their students, without offering encouragement..By giving each student attention, kids especially will work hard to please their instructor...I make sure each of my students go home with one advice about their technique-that why they know they have learned something.

I don't know if my sensei is the best, but honestly I don't care.

 

What I like regardin his person is enough for me to long to get in his dojo.

 

He is a kind person, sometimes severe, but only when he has got to act like this, he is funny and makes jokes (well thata OK, because I do this too ), he is very good, knows how to get respect although he never acts like a God . I like him also because he is an intelligent person (always respected this), graduated two colleges, he is also a teacher at the University ... so on ...so on ...

Hmm Ice cream. Great idea. 10x ...

 

Guess sensei won't be too happy when we'll ask him to give us ice cream. we are many ...

I have trained with the same instructors my whole life... and being an instructor under some of the best instructors I have ever met has made teaching allot easier...

 

The most important thing in an instructor to me is if he can change me somehow...my instructor changed my life...I am 20 years old now and own a profitable school with about 500 kids...and without the instruction of some of the best...I wouldnt be where I am today!
