Re: Question about entering the dojo for the first time.

I did a quick search for dojo etiquette and didn't find a thread for it.

I'm starting out as an uchideshi with a goal to stay for 2 years and was wondering what is the etiquette when greeting the sensei for the first time. Could I get a gift as a way to thank the sensei for her time and allowing me to be accepted in the dojo? If so, what gift is acceptable?

Just bow to the sensei and introduce yourself. If you want to give the sensei gifts,
a gift of fruits would do very nicely.
