Now...that IS where I get uncomfortable, and WOULD appreciate some feedback. Asking for credentials if fine...but actually calling someone up...I personally would find that a little uncomfortable. First off, if one is training with a higher dan, his/her instructors are going to possibly be very senior in rank and age. In the Okinawan school I study in, some of these folks don't even speak English, live overseas, and have passed on. There are different cultural expectations of students and I personally feel it would be presumptuous to actually follow up.

Ask the instructor their credentials. Ask if he minds if you contact his instructors.

Leaves fall.

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking. If they feel insulted, and tell you to pack sand, then I think that answers your questions for the most part. If they have no ego, then they should feel no problem with openly discussing their training background and the like.
