When I started this post I thought I was looking for a definitive ' oh when Sosai formed Kyokushin formed Kyokushin he decided this is Sempai this Sensei - now I'm more confused than ever! God I can't wait till I'm a 3rd Dan at least I know what I'm to be called according to this, so far I'm everything from Kohai to Sensei!
Just to clarify... Most of the dojos I visit are either IKK or IKF - I know in our (IKK) I am nothing till Black then Sempai then Sensei from either 2nd or 3rd Dan dependent on if you teach (I already teach so
in class I am a Sempai)
In IKF from 2nd Kyu to 2nd Dan are Sempai and the 3rd and above are Sensei?
If this is right at least I'll not be offending anyone too soon
