Hello,
I'm asking this question to all the Shidoshi and Shihan that have a long experience in teaching.
In my Dojo there's a new student who studied with another Shidoshi for some years. He claims to be 1st kyu but he doesn't have any basic. He is not able to perform Kihon Happo, Sanshin No Kata and Ukemi. His movements are like a beginner, he doesn't have balance and often he hits hard my other students because he is not able to perform what I teach.
This could be his Ex Shidoshi fault who didn't teach him ANYTHING or his fault whom during all this years didn't study what his Ex Shidoshi taught him.
Now... from my point of view he should start again from the beginning but he asked me about the black belt many times and I'm sure that he will not accept my decision.
His ex teacher is a Shihan and he gave him the 1st kyu.. Do I HAVE TO accept his rank even if his real rank is not more that 9th kyu??
My 8th kyu students are asking me how it's possible that a 1st kyu doesn't know Kihon Happo and Sanshin no Kata!
I will accept any suggestion to solve my problem...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
