What do you see as proper etiquette for attending a seminar that is outside your organization? If you are a dan grade, but it is not your group, do you come with whitebelt and no hakama? Do you introduce yourself to the teacher?

Hello Rachel
I give the organiser a call to ask them about the etiquette and their dojo do's and don'ts. The seminars usually say whether they are open to aikidoka of other styles.
As for training at the seminar, I do the technqies and exercises the way they do them. Sometimes, there's no difference and other times I feel like a fish out of water. But at the end of the day, I feel that I have learned someting that I didnt know before the seminar. I guess that's why I attend the seminar
Hope this helps and enjoy the seminar.
