This is returned through respect. It is not an act of subservience. Everyone in the Ryu is required to do this. Bad mouthing will never be tolerated of any students or instructors. The world is filled with Martial Artists who have reasons why others ways are not right.
Any materials received by the student are only for that individual students use.
After six months those students records are pulled and considered no longer members of the dojo. This is common practice amongst martial arts organizations and not to be confused with being non-compassionate. The dojo does everything in it's power to keep communications open with students.
