Shihan
Shihan (師範) is a title Japan board, often used in the Budō. That means Professor or Modèle .
With the organization of Aikido, the Aikikai, a Japanese professor becomes automatically a shihan starting from 6th daN but it was a long time confused owing to the fact that certain Westerners accepted the same row. Finally, Aikikai declared that the Westerners did not need only 6th daN to become Shihan , but also of a certificate .
