I think Sempai and students realtionship and respect is very important in any MA beacuse it is always good to get some good 'tips' from a senior students.
Most people would not acknowledge such infromal teaching because they only want to learn/hear from the BB instructor.
instructor is a qualification, as some Karate style have a internal program they have to do to get such level for Instructors status (usually minimun requirement is 3 rd Dan).
The full Sensei tilte is usually 4th Dan in the Karate Style I used to do.
I used to clinched my teeths when Shodan (1 Dan) used to make lower belt call them Sensei. But well, I am conservative when it comes to such things!
