StrangeBacon Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I generally call any instructor "Sen" its well accepted in our style and it feels odd calling them by their names, if there's more than one in the room or im trying to get ones attention i'll say ____-san.

Nevinyrral Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I alway call my instructor sensei, even if we talk in the changing room or outside. A style is just a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KumitePanda Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 in the dojo its sensei or sempai depending on who your talking to but outside the dojo its by their first names.the only exception is takahashi and he is to be called shihan or shihan takahashi at all times. for those of you that dont know who he is; he is an 8th dan chief instructor of TSKF and is highly respected. ~Rhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
