A sensei leads the people around him and serves to humanity. It is one of the greatest titles in BUDO that one can achieve.

Whenever a decision is made to educate and train for a substantial subject, it is necessary to be acquainted with the history of the issue and its source to be able to understand that subject and to achieve the goal.

Then, how should we search for a realist teacher? Which criteria should we look for?
