Sorry to hear that. Is he designating a successor or leaving you in the lurch?

Well, it is a University Kendo club, with many "sempai"...so we will manage, I'm sure. But still, he is a great coach and a good man. Plus he is 5th dan, and the only Japanese member.

What's the highest ranking Sempai?
You ought to do alright with a Sandan for a little while until a new teacher can be found...

The sandan guy rarely comes, as he is busy with graduate work. Our highest ranking regular sempai has just reached Ni-dan. And we often have higher ranking visitors, etc.
I'm sure we'll be fine.

I have no doubt that you will, and I expect that you and your girlfriend will be part of it the reason

Erduk is like the kid left outside in the snow with his nose pressed upto the glass for so long he freezes there, someone needs to get the poor kid some warm water to defrost his face from the glass.

What I meant is, I wish I had a dojo to go to at all, even a master-less one.

I just found out that my Sensei will be moving away. ...this sucks. My condolences slav, but normally with me it is the other way round, they want me to stay but for various reasons I have had to 'geographically' move on. Although my first ever sensei did a little more than move away, he passed away. So things are never that bad, it is all part of life mate .

I find it fascinating the way most westerners view 'sensei'.
