Diary of a lesson>>Opening Sequence 1 of 8
 
 
 

 

  • When you hear "Line up!" or "One line!", stand shoulder to shoulder facing the front of the dojo, in rank order. Try to line up so that the instructor is right in the middle of the line. If class size is big, the senior student may ask you to form more than one line, in which case, you should try to line up so that the lines are approximately of the same length.

 

 
 

 

  • "Shomen ni rei!": Bow to the front of the room (this signifies bowing to the institution of karate and to the line of instructors who brought it to your instructor). "Sensei ni rei!": Bow to the instructor.
