I learned martial arts from a non-traditional JKD instructor (goes without saying I guess) and I noticed some sort of ritual that Erik Paulson and Rick Young gave to Dan (and maybe each other) somewhere in the Definitive Dan Inosanto Collection. It made me curious as to what it was, what it meant, and what the rest of you are doing out there. Sometimes I like the idea of a little sign of mutual respect that two fighters can give each other when they are done training a drill or sparring, etc. If you could let me know what you do, what it means, and perhaps even post a URL that shows it, that would be interesting for me. Thanks a lot!
