scottnshelly Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Actually, i think it happens fairly frequently. I don't think that Instructors advertise for this, but you have to know your Instructor well first. My cousin and uncle had their Instructor stay with them for about a year. He would teach them 6 days a week and in return they fed him and let him live with them. I did see an advertisement in a Black Belt magazine once for a Ninja camp somewhere in California that cost like $2000 and you lived with the Instructor. I've never done it, but if i didn't have a family, i would jump on the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted T. Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Uchi deshi. My sensei, O'Sensei Richard Kim was Uchi deshi to Kataro, Yoshida for four years. He claimed that what he learned more than made up for the price he was asked. Live in students should get live in training...

nago Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Most of the time they dont actually live in their instructors house. Most dojo with uchi deshi have small rooms, real small, built on for them to sleep. They dont have to clean the dojo that is left to the kyu ranks. They teach most of the classes though. If your "uchi deshi" you are expected to be the best and toughest one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aefibird Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 My karate instructor is a sweet and lovely man but he is also the untidiest and most forgetful person on the planet. He once went on holiday for a week and got back to discover he'd left both the electric oven AND the iron on. Another time he was cooking some food in a wok, went into another room to do something and forgot about the food. He then went out and came back about an hour later to find that his next door neighbour had called the fire brigade because Sensei's kitchen was full of smoke. I'd hate to think of the state of my house and the state of my sanity if I had my Sensei living with me! "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

ShotokanKid Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 It sounds like an apprentice, the Japanese word for that is Minarai "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aes Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 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! We just had a talk about this in our dojo. Not your style but we do call it a Uchi Deshi. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Lion Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I would definitely experience smth like that for a week or so. during the summer preferably. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
