KaratekaAikidoist Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Does anybody know what its called when a student lives with his instructor. The student cleans up and basically does everything the instructor tells him to in exchange for training. Thanks!
stl_karateka Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Dunno if it has a particular name...sounds like an barter system, indentured servitude or apprenticeship....are any of those the terms you are looking for? KarateForums.com Sempai

kilo Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 In Aikido your called an Uchi Deshi A live-in student. A student who lives in a dojo and devotes him/herself both to training and to the maintenence of the dojo (and sometimes to personal service to the SENSEI of the dojo). Kendo is like starwars and everyone gets to be Darth Vader."Luke, I am your sensei"

Darce Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I can understand if someone cleans the dojo and such instead of paying for training, but cleaning the senseis private house... That sounds strange. Shukokai Karate, Orange belt ( 7. kyu)
G95champ Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Does that still happen in places? Sort of figured that type of deal went out of fashion with the 20th century. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
