Re: Thanking your ukes after testing
Our dojo tradition is that following a dan level test the successful candidate hosts a social gathering for all members of the dojo. The philosophy being that everyone in the dojo has been part of the candidates journey in bringing them to their current level.
It is also considered respectful to present our Sensei with a gift in appreciation of the work he has done to get the candidate to that level in their Aikido career.
