In the Hombu Dojo people dont say OSU but ONEGAISHIMASU. OSU is used in karate dojo's.

@@the_abandoned_monastery7218 "it seems". I asked ppl including Japanese ppl and nobody knows for sure what it means. If its a contaction, it defenitely is rude to use. its like instead of a respectful "thank you for practising together" into a short informal "thanks bro!". Its also easy to hear the difference of sound when ppl say "onegaisimasu" or a loud "OSU!"

@@JustMe-vz3wd I guess the etiquette is first established by those most senior in rank, then the lower students copy. I wouldn’t say it’s rude simply because it’s a contraction, since it’s acceptable in other spaces. It may just be a subtle formality that one should probably not deviate from. I guess the real problem would stem from using Osu as a deliberate act of defiance against the student-body/teacher/space as an unusual response. I would say in the case of the ignorant, they are not guilty of such active defiance, but rather are sincere, yet should probably conform to the customs of Aikido practice.

@@the_abandoned_monastery7218 please don't "guess", and contraction makes a formal and polite welcome greeting into an informal coloquial greeting. In itself nothing wrong or in polite with it, but done at the beginning and end of class, in that situation, makes it "not done" and impolite. Especially when it is shouted like they do with the OSSSSSS! It doesnt resonate with aikido. Reiko , "politeness", is a part of Aikido, Kisshomaru Ueshiba said that Keiko is not just necesary for good aikido practise, but Keiko IS a part of Aikido. Lastly, at the beginning of the class, we say onegaishimasu, and at the end of the class, arigato gozaimasu. To "contract" these meaningful and essential words for aikido, in a hooliganish meaningless OSSSSS! is....ppl being confused and not knowing what they are doing.
