Onegaishimasu. From time to time I read posts where someone mentions "my sensei", when it is pretty clear that there is no way that person trains regularly with that particular sensei. So my question is, what makes a sensei 'your' sensei?

Or to rephrase the question, if I may Mark, what makes you [insert "your" sensei's name] student?
It is my belief that the relationship is a two way street. I can't call a person "my" sensei unless they are willing to call me "their" student.
Only my opinion ,
