There haven't been any disrespect problems where I'm training at the moment. If there were, I expect we'd be expected to solve it ourselves. We really are just there to learn and to have fun.

The way it's meant to be!!

Indeed. If there's no fun, why bother?

In our dojo we bow every grade.
I hold 3rd Dan Wado and I bow every grade to show respect.

With that being said, I am also a 2nd Dan Shotokan and in this we only bow the instructor.

Respecting your higher ranks?

What if you become the highest there is in your style?

Respect and showing courtesy and good manners with education are attributes of a winner. Having money and fame or position without respecting (shown for) all of those around you will be a sad and shallow existence attributes of a loser.

People that litter, do they respect the environment? Therefore those that don't show respect to others will get only disrespect returned eventually.

The more respect you show another person the more mutual respect will return.

Everyone deserves respect until they prove other wise.
