Sensei Ira S. Glicksberg, is a character played by Lance Krall in The Office.
Season 2[]
Ira is Dwight's karate sensei. He referees a sparring match between Dwight and Michael. He says, "No points for pants."
Season 9[]
Sensei Ira is brought in as a candidate for the junior sales position at the Scranton branch for which Dwight brings in all his friends to be considered. He sits in the conference room with all the other people while waiting to be interviewed. He shows up in his martial arts uniform (Junior Salesman).
In "Livin' the Dream", Dwight claims that Sensei Ira was unethical, having charged Dwight a total of $150,000 over 20 years without reaching a black belt. It typically takes five to six years to reach the first level black belt at goju ryu karate.
