Sensei The relationship between a teacher and a student in martial arts is very important. In today’s modern world, this bond is weakening due to the rising misunderstanding and un-healthiness of society. In schools, the teachers are not allowed to make any physical interaction with students as it was in the olden times, and the whole communication is verbal.

Karate-Do is a martial art and cannot be taught only by verbal communication and means. The Karate Teachers have to demonstrate the techniques themselves and the students must observe them. Then while performing the skills the teacher has to make physical contact with the students to correct their technique. To understand the technique better the Sensei (teacher) sometimes can also ask the student to be his partner to demonstrate the technique. The efforts and demonstration from the teacher develop respect and bond with the students.

Every Karate technique a child performs shows his/her mental and physical condition and a skilled sensei observes it and identifies and corrects the mistakes of the student. The students continuously observe Sensei and his way, attitude, and even words affect them. The instructions and training they receive in the Dojo (training hall) help them to develop themselves physically and mentally for their self-cultivation.
