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?

Offering oneself IS the gift. After your term is up then a parting gift is in order.
