" On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Ralph Reyes. I'm the Dojo-cho and the aikido instructor at Chi Martial Arts in Miami Shores, Florida. Today we are going to learn beginner's techniques in aikido. The first thing we are going to cover is how to bow in. In aikido being a samurai art, etiquette is very important. We normally bow in at the Dojo when we first come in, and we bow to each other before conducting a technique. So we are going to start by showing the proper way to bow. Okay not only we will face other, they will look at each other directly in the eye and they will bow. Notice that they are still looking at each other even as they go down and start to come up."
