How important do you feel it is to have a teacher, so that you can continue your learning and continue to enhance your skills? For the sake of discussion, lets say that you had a teacher, someone that you trained with on a regular basis. For whatever reason, you no longer train under that teacher. They either passed on, or for personal reasons, you cut all ties with them. So, now you're left with your dojo, your black belts, and your students.
Would you consider attending seminars as a replacement for a teacher, whom you'd see on a regular basis? Would you seek out a new teacher, in the same art?
