So just why should we practice a specific etiquette inside the martial arts school, and what are those etiquette ? I can answer the most important question in a single word; Samurai. Samurai is an adverb that has become a noun. The term Samurai means "to serve". They have the same connotation as those that "serve" in today's military services. They pursue a higher cause, recognize superior authority, and act selflessly in defense of our nation. The Samurai did the same for his feudal lord. Among all of those who "Serve", whether or not the military, law enforcement, fire prevention, or any other volunteer services, there's a standard code of conduct. This code of conduct is based from necessity. An individual must conduct oneself in a certain manner to continue being part of the group; in order to "serve" an authority; in order to interact with each other; and in order to have interaction with the higher authority, and those who are enemies of said authority. With all the Samurai, that code was called Bushido, or the Ways of the Warrior. These codes of conduct - or etiquette pass on with all the warrior methods him selves. There are clear reasons for this. Warrior methods are methods of war, killing, and defense. Comprehension of such dangerous means demand serious controls on the conduct of those who possess such knowledge. There is an additional level of etiquette relating to warrior groups. These are actions essential to gain entrance, maintain acceptance, establish place, and gain respect within the warrior group. This is common among all warrior groups, whether those of the Samurai, the martial-art dojo or the armed forces.
