Asking a sensei or instructor when you will receive a new belt is considered disrespectful because it shifts the focus from learning and self-improvement to entitlement and rank chasing.
Why is this disrespectful?
- Implies the Sensei is Unaware or Careless
- Shows a Lack of Humility
- Prioritizes Ego over Technique
- Shows Lack of Trust in the Teacher
- Rushes the Process of Growth
Our senseis are happy to provide feedback regarding areas of improvement and where more attention and focus is needed.
