many adults start kendo quite late in life. This means that people who are considerably younger may be your sempai in kendo and vice versa. Generally, this means that inside the dojo, you adhere to the sempai-kohai relationship in terms of dan level. Outside the dojo, it becomes more flexible, but from my own experience, it still exists. Yup. Well, I'm turning twenty-eight this year and my sempai is about eleven. I have no problem with this. She is sweet and helpful and most importantly, knows more about kendo than I do!
