Well...thanks for the comments....they've been very usefull. To tell the truth, i don't have any problem paying for the 5th dan of my sensei.....what's really bothering me.....is the way that this matter has been handled. I see it more like an obligation than a voluntary thing (that's because my opinion was not required. ..."blessing democracy")
The Sensei is a good guy (and definitely one of the best)...but i think that he's not totally agree with this situation....but heīs not saying it either.
I could take this as an investment in my aikido education...thatīs for sure.....but like JW said: if some else is getting or could get a profit from it (and when i say profit i mean money....) then they should pay for it.
May be this is not such a big deal, and may be i should just pay.....but "this" it's not my idea of the aikido philosophy....and may be i should look somewhere else...
