Karate Sensei?

Question

This was my second day in karate and I forgot to say please to my sensei so now I am such a rude ignorance. What can I do to earn my good reputation back. This may delay me for my yellow belt. I feel so guilty.::::::____((

Answer 1

If your teacher holds such a mistake against you, find a new teacher. Simple.

You are a beginner. You are going to make mistakes. A teacher will teach you - not penalize you.

Answer 2

That depends on many things.  

Did he interview you to see if you would be accepted, admited, allowed to train with him?  If not, but instead he "SOLD" you a contract to attend his classes I would not worry.

Did you bring him a gift to thank him for accepting you into his dojo?  Have other students done this?  If not, either you and the other students have no manners or respect.  Unless of course he instead accepted your checking account or credit card information and authorization to repetitively charge your accounts over lengthy periods of time in addition to testing fees, equipment fees, tournament fees, seminar fees . . .  then you once again have nothing to worry about.

Did he make a big deal out of it? If so then you have nothing to worry about.  If he did not even mention it, then let this be a lesson and remember it well.  Always show respect to all and any you encounter at all times.

Answer 3

Your Sensei has taught others who have made the same mistake. Keep practicing  and working hard to learn, and all will be forgotten.

Answer 4

express your knowledge of the mistake bow to show your respect and remember for next time if he bars you after twi days bounce...there are plenty of good senseis out there

Answer 5

I agree with the first answer.  It's your second day and you're bound to make mistakes.  Just continue to be as respectful as possible, train hard, and you'll be fine.

Answer 6

Its only one mistake, and you did not do it on purpose... If the skunk brained sensei refused to forgive and forget....Tell the old f**t he can go to  h**l !!!!!!  I know I did !!!

Answer 7

You shouldn't feel guilty, you're a beginner and beginners make mistakes. Your Sensei should forgive you for not saying please to him. If not I suggest you find a different teacher that will be more forgiving.

A Sensei should be there for you throughout your training, if he isn't you probably won't succeed in what your trying to accomplish.

If you still are feeling guilty later on, have a talk with him and explain to him how you feel. :)
