sensei8 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Before Takahashi Sensei was our Dai-Soke, he was the Kaicho. This is during that time of this story; I was a Nidan at the time.Our Kiacho was sicker than a rabid dog, but still on the floor during his class with Soke. Their classes draw on-lookers from time to time. He was waiting for Soke to enter, and when Soke entered, Kaicho prostrated...then stood up...bowed. It was then that our Soke put his right hand up, as to motion for Kaicho to stop. Soke smiled, then approached, looked up and down at Kaicho, both front and back, and the following conversation ensued..."Yosh, what were you thinking?", Soke asks Kaicho."What", a confused Kaicho mumbles."Why are you on this floor inappropriately? Don't you know how to dress yourself by now?", Soke enquired."Huh?", Kaicho blankly says."Where is your belt?", asks Soke."Wh..wh..what?", Kaicho stammers."Your belt, where is it?", Soke presses."I don't know. I guess it's in my office." Kaicho answers.Soke shakes his head from side to side, as if to say..."Oh my word"."And, are you dead?", Soke asks."No, sir! Why?", Kaicho says."You're not wearing your gi top properly!", Soke retorted. [His right lapel was over his left lapel, to them, the dead wear theirs that way]Soke dismissed Kaicho, and told him to go home and not to come back until he felt better.When Kaicho bowed off the floor and left. Soke had the biggest grin on his face, while he was still shaking his head from side to side.To those on-lookers, we got a big laugh out of it. To see Kaicho in that state was surprising because he's always on point with the details...except now. **Proof is on the floor!!!
