as sensei of my own karate dojo in okinawa gojuryu karatedo
and for my own sensei and other sensei i have trained with
and learned from including world renowned karate masters
the term can only have, very high levels of respect and
deep admiration, in my mind..
while not now training directly in a dojo, or with my sensei,
my students when i see them may call me sensei, as a natural
thing.. anyway, sensei cannot have a negative meaning for me..
i was curious about your use of that term, but only in passing..
assuming it had some genuine basis..
its something that others would not understand
such as members of our forum, and would likely
take out of context or misunderstand..
other than that, i could not possibly
be offended, regardless..
you seem pretty genuine yourself, little one..
