Asking a favor of one and all,

It can be daunting to step into a martial arts dojo for the first time.

Maybe you remember? Maybe you forgot?

It helps If we greet our visitors –

Not just the instructor of the day, or other black belts, but everyone who sees a new face in the dojo.

Say “Hi!”

Introduce yourself, welcome them, share your interest in Aikido with them.

Your welcome will ease their visit and, who knows, you just might welcome a new classmate too! 😊  

お願いします(onegaishimasu) - "please"
