A newcomer to an Aikido class will notice the special atmosphere — both
welcoming and formal. Since Aikido is an ancient and formal Japanese
discipline, traditional etiquette forms are an important part of Aikido
study. Classes begin with students bowing first to the dojo (practice
hall), and then to sensei (teacher). Class consist of warm-ups, basic
movements, concepts of Aikido, and Aikido techniques (including weapons)
with partners.
Class ends with a bowing ceremony.
