my instructor is one of my best friends, and respect and loyalty and all that jargon go both ways, but the guy is no role model, i know that, in reality hes just another guy.

My idea of a Teacher - Student relationship did not come from my first Sensei because of the fact it was my father...
But I believe that a good relationship between the two should be:
Respect on both side.
Honesty.
Trust.
Helpful.
Friendship.
Without these no one will benefit from the training.
I believe that just as the student is loyal to the teacher and the Dojo, so should the teacher be loyal to the students.
Beacuse with out them he/she wouldn't be a teacher...
Just me 2 cents worth....

Hi, Ninjanick,

Most put their teachers on big pedestals, worship h/her, then wonder if they are in a cult or martial art. Most of the time it is the instructor's fault when it happens, but some need someone in their lives, and the MA instructor seems a good choice. You are right about your instructor, Nick.
