[edit] Model link

I took out the wiki-link for model because there doesn't seem to be a page that matches the sense of the word as it is being used here. The closest is Model (abstract) but that doesn't seem right. Model (person) is clearly wrong. <nowiki></nowiki> &mdash; [[User:Edwinstearns|Edwin Stearns]] | [[User talk:Edwinstearns|Talk]] 15:48, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shihan rank referenced in Tekken 5

This comes after the player achieves 5th dan. It seems Namco skipped the 6th-8th dan ranks. It's referenced in this game, the highest rank possible being Tekken Lord. I have achieved Shihan using Asuka Kazama, but just to let you know, the rank is referenced in the Arcade Mode in the PlayStation 2 version of the game. --D.F.

[edit] Shihan status automatic at 6th Dan?

This is not necessarily the case. Within traditional aikido as governed by Hombu Dojo Japan, the Shihan title is distinct from the Dan grading system. Whilst most Japanese instructors of 6th Dan and above are indeed awarded the title of Shihan, this is not automatic nor always the case.

Tomohiro Mori is a present 6th Dan instructor without Shihan status. He is a Shidoin (senior instructor.

I will make the amendment if no objections are raised.
