What is a Dai-Soke
|
Dai- Soke" is not a
rank but a great honor and privilege bestowed by the
Grandmaster. It does not necessarily mean the
Dai-Soke is the most experienced or senior level
Master in the Art. It means that he or she has been
entrusted to carry on and represent the wishes of
the Grandmaster. The Dai-Soke must maintain loyalty,
respect and have the Soke's best interest in his or
her heart.
If there comes a time
when the Dai-Soke can no longer continue his / her
responsibilities or duties, they should honorably
resign this title for the betterment of the Soke and
Art.
In many cases the
Dai-Soke more or less is an apprentice Grandmaster.
There have been a few cases where the apprentice /
Dai-Soke did not have enough experience or skill to
carry on and represent the art to the level of the
Grandmaster. In these cases the World Head of Family
Sokeship Council has been a great service in providing
the guidance and experienced needed to assist the
Dai-Soke.
It is very hard to
replace a Grandmaster, but out of honor, loyalty,
and respect, it is the Dai-Soke and senior
students duty to do the best they can to continue
the life's work of the Soke and his art.
