Technically the term 'Shidoshi' is only used by Ninjutsu teachers who have been granted (checkable) a license from Hatsumi.
And before you ask I am not one of them...'Shidoshi' is just my nickname for this forum (;
No other person from another clan can use it?

Shidoshi means "teacher of the warrior way" while allot of people credit Hatsumi with inventing the term, it is infact a much older title and is dereived from the term shishi which meant warrior teacher.
Both terms are traced to koryu martial arts.

I dont credit Hatsumi with the term, I was looking to see if it is used more commonly than the other.

It exclusively used in ninjutsu & bujutsu systems, though allot use the term sensei instead. I know a Yoshin-Ryu Jujutsu school which uses the term shidoshi for instructors above 5th dan in Virginia

Would this be a problem with a instructor of a Chinese based martial art using this?

So, Kenpo, being Japanese based, promoted, etc., how could there be Sifus (Chinese term)
Never heard a kenpo instructor called a sifu? Technically you could call them Green-Eggs & his students Ham it wouldn't change much. You knw that Shakespearian thing about roses and all...

Well, one could call Ninjutsu Al Queda, but that doesnt do it justice either.
