The teachers must be strict, and make the practitioners respect the art and its history.

Why must the teacher be strict? This isnt the military. They should act no different than a sport coach. They are not your master, even though they may be a master of the art. I dont even understand why they would want to be referred to as such.
Maybe that stuff is good for kids, but when you are 30 years old, and hold a degree such as a doctor, you shouldnt need to call a 14 year old sir, or Mr. and bow to them. One of the first things I learned at medical school is that its much better to get on a first name basis with patients as they will respect and trust you more.
What does strict have to do with respect and learning? If you can find me anything in the education or ed psychology literature that agrees with that then I would support it. But I can promise you that it says the opposite (I hold an advanced degree in education a s well).
