Blue Belt
I was curious how other schools, and arts, open and close thier classes.
I teach Kempo Karate and we bow in and out to the Korean, Japanese, Chinese and US flags to show respect for where our different styles come from. Then we bow to the masters of all the styles and then I bow to my students and they bow to me inturn. I then have them kneel and meditate for a few moments to help ground themselfs in the place and moment they are.
I'd love to hear others traditions.
