All of the traditional schools that I know of use the formal titles along with the rank. However, I have never heard the term Shidoshi used except on the movie "Bloodsport". It is a Japanese word I'm certain though. Renketsu is correct with the ranks and titles. There are other titles that go with position more than rank, although the rank is usually higher, such as Soke (original founder of a system).


shidoshi is usely used in ninja type styles such as ninpo and other style of ninjutsue(sorry if my spelling isent right) but i am uncertain of any other styles that may use that name.

Our style uses the basic counting system, with the exception of Shodan (as opposed to ichi-dan) which means something like "just starting over".

And black belts are affectionately refered to a as "sensei" as a recognition for their achievement, but they are not 'teachers', although they can be. All of the instructors at our dojo are at least Nidan, even for the junior classes.
