This is a very detailed video thank you. The only thing I didn't hear in the instructional video was a mention of turning AWAY from students when adjusting your uniform;).

Thanks for watching; comments are welcome. While this video was shot and produced at Peachtree Aikikai Atlanta, we made an effort to create something that would strengthen the practice of all new aikidoka everywhere through a greater understanding of etiquette. Hope you enjoy it.
