During his childhood and into adulthood, Jack studied with the greatest and most renowned warriors and scholars in order to prepare for his fateful battle against Aku. Though not all of them are shown, these are the ten that were shown.

It should be noted that in the real world, the teachers presented below all existed in different timeframes, some centuries apart.

7th Teacher Norse Viking

Jack's seventh teacher located somewhere in Northern Europe presumably in Norway, Sweden, Denmark or Iceland. He taught Jack how to sail a boat and navigate in all forms of weather at sea.

The Viking Chief from Jack and the Three Blind Archers greatly resembles him, so its possible he is a descendant.

9th Teacher Mongol Warrior

Jack's ninth teacher presumably located on the Mongol plains in what would later become Mongolia. He taught Jack how to use a spear whilst also riding.

Jack's tenth teachers, were the monks of the Shaolin Temple located in China and led by Master Chu. They taught Jack several styles of Kung Fu and how to fight with all the weapons they use, many of which are skills he still uses. They also taught him to use all of his senses, not just his sight and hearing, to extend his awareness and allow him to fight on any level.

They attended Jack and Ashi's wedding in Master Chu's stead.

They attended Jack and Ashi's wedding in Episode CI. Unfortunately, the wedding tragically ended when Ashi faded into non-existence since Jack has destroyed her father, Aku in the past, much to their shock.
