Well, since you know only 1/2 of the story, I can see how you could feel you're qualified to comment on MY kendo manners.

I am mukyu!!!!!

Do you address Ariga sensei as Koki?

No, it's always Ariga sensei, even outside of the dojo. If you are asking if Koki Ariga is my sensei, yes, he is. Otherwise, I don't understand the question.

I believe you know Frank Victores, ask him to explain it to you.
No we are not coming to the camp. We will be in Ann Arbor. It is too much to do both.

Never mind, I get it. Forgive my familiarity, it won't happen again.

No where do I see any rebuke. One of my early kendo sensei was kyoshi nanadan and he had instructed us to call him Rod. Therefore one would surmise that this was the reigi in the Miami Valley dojo but by the answer above, cleary it is not.
By previous posts the following facts:
1. Nowhere did I say for you to call me sensei.
2. This was the 3rd time that this individual who earlier in the post acknowledges he knew full well both my brother's and my rank and had chosen to address us by our first name. I do not know this individual nor have I ever met him. Yet he does not even address me as Mr. but rather as his pal.
3. In an earlier post he shows that he has a problem with ranks as an enlisted man in the US Navy in dealing with officers.
4. His ego and pride have caused him to attack me when there was no reason to attack me. If he had talked with his sempai/sensei Frank Victores as I had suggested he would have learned something about kendo and reigi. It would have been pointless for me to try to explain proper reigi via e-mail. Rather I had hoped through personal contact he would gain knowledge.
5. He is 52 and I am 62, in other words I was 'born before' him. While he was in grade school I was serving in the armed forces of this county. So from my vantage point you are a "boot".
6. I have been awarded Kyoshi by the AUSKF and nanadan by the AJKF, and you sir, are mukyu.
7. I also have experienced first hand how Navy Chiefs treat seaman apprentice and others under their direction. Shame on you.
I did not perceive that you were intentionly rude to begin with but rather accepted that you as a mukyu did not know better. Alternately as I explained this could be how Ariga sensei runs the dojo and therefore you were acting accordingly to how you have been taught. However, you acknowledge that you full well knew both my brother's and my rank so one must draw the conclusion that you were knowingly rude.
Finally you take this forum as a place to air your grief. With each post you protest more and more how you are an innocent. The above quote of the actual exchange does nothing to support your case. You now owe me apology and one to this forum also.
