Are you quite sure Sensei only (correctly) refers to teachers in martial arts? I was sure the term was correctly used in Go too... Evercat 22:01 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Could somebody write a little more on why calling a martial arts teacher sensei would be derogatory?
Its not. I rewrote the section a bit. Peter Rehse 04:21, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
I agree my edit of sensei was a bit clumsy. I changed it initially because it gave the impression that other martial arts besides Aikido refer to Ueshiba M. as O-sensei. Not the case. Even within Aikido it is much more common outside Japan. It still leaves that impression but I'll leave the change to others. DannyWilde I actually started Aikido in Tsukuba way back.

There is still some inconsistiency between this page and the main Japanese titles page. I think the Japanses titles page is more accurate. It may be worthwhile to integrate this page into it. Brianglass 19:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't. There are some titles that are pretty specific to martial arts or at least not that common outside. I vote to leave it as is. Peter Rehse 02:40, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I wont scream and shout if it is merged - just expressed an opinion. Please go ahead. Peter Rehse 00:21, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
