Most students attend a dojo where the Sensei/Instructor is liked and respected by all of his students. Certainly there will be mismatched personalities from time to time between teacher/student but those situations are usually identified early on and if problematic, then dealt with.
At Boston Shinkendo there were students who attended the dojo for over a year whom paranoid Little Shafty kept feeling were "disrespecting him".
Why in the world is this guy so hung up on being respected, one time he even made a female student write a letter of apology to him and forced her to sit on the bench for a week watching but not training because he said she rolled her eyes.
He never took into account that no one attended that dojo to listen to him drone on about his silly snowflake political beliefs, or stories about his goofy kids, or his how Kaiso Obata once said hello to him.
One student reported that at Birthday lunch for a fellow student, Shafty attended, kept sticking his two cents in a friendly political discussion several other students at the far end of the table were having as they enjoyed their sake and meal, and he kept pushing his opinion and after the lunch, pulled the main student aside and chastised him about his political beliefs.
However that student was not a Shafty worshipper and didn't give two craps about Shafy's whiny snowflake viewpoints and pretty much told him so, as well as exiting the silly "WHATSAPP" chat group Shafty forced all his students to be part of.
This put the wimpy mealy mouthed Shafty into a rage and he began a campaign to ostracize that student and try to get other students to black list him.
Ummmm I thought people attended this dojo to learn Shinkendo, not play a half baked and retarded version of Dojo Game Of Thrones with a neurotic nut ball.
Great dojo you're running their Shafty, keep up the good work.
Yukishiro Obata is an absolute moron to put up with you in my humble opinion.
People need to be aware of the Boston Shinkendo dojo so you can determine for yourselves if this is a place to invest you time and money.
Based upon how many of the actual good students who split you may want to look elsewhere.
