Today's episode is a chat with Renshi Robert Warner from Kiefer's Martial Arts in Rhode Island. "Seek people who can help you grow." Episode 852 Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio Podcast Today, we embark on a journey through the fascinating world of martial arts through a chat with Renshi Robert Warner. We dive deep into the realm of titles and the profound significance they hold in martial arts culture. As martial artists, we've all grappled with the question of what to call our instructors, fellow practitioners, and ourselves. Sensei, Renshi, Grand master – these titles carry weight, denoting not just rank but a lifetime of dedication and knowledge. In the United States, "Sensei" has become synonymous with respect for those who guide us on our martial arts journey. But what about those honorary titles, like Renshi, that signify an elevated level of expertise and commitment? In this episode, we explore the complexities of martial arts titles, shedding light on how they reflect not only rank but also one's place within an organization and the time invested in mastering the art. Do titles really matter, or is it the respect we show one another that truly counts? Join us as we unravel the significance of martial arts titles, share personal experiences, and even take a trip down memory lane to the days of some carpeted dojos, where the energy of the martial arts world first ignited passion. So, whether you prefer to be called Sensei or simply mister, as long as respect prevails, we believe it's all good in the martial arts community. Let's kick things off!
