Re: Best way to learn

Quote:
Yesterday, I remember going in a dojo and doing the same thing and the Sensei (he was very angry at me) told me that a class has only one Sensei, you don't have to correct your partner because he will learn from his mistakes.
It sounds like you were in a dojo other than your home dojo. You should follow the rules of the dojo you are attending. This can be very difficult as some instructors are very liberal and others can be very narrow minded about the learning experience. Neither way is wrong just different.

Although attaining shodan means you may know something it is just the beginning. Rank is only relative when we make it such. There is only one sensei in the dojo.
