Uchi Deshi from my point of view

Being an Uchi Dechi (assistant of the sensei) is a big responsibility. It also takes up a lot of your time. Being an Uchi Deshi is like being an assistant, but the only difference is it’s a part of traditional karate. Being an Uchi Deshi is about having a special bond with the sensei. You have to know where the sensei is if he is not with you, you have to make sure the dojo is clean and in order, and to Know all major events that are happening at the dojo. Also knowing all the kids and their parents that go to the dojo and they all have to know you. You have to know what the sensei likes to eat and drink. Being around the Sensei all the time, you get a lot of extra training and knowledge. Hanging out with the sensei is a very important part of being an Uchi Deshi.  An Uchi Deshi must be at the dojo every day.
