We see this in every class when students and Instructors bow to each other in the start and end of every lesson. We also see it when partners bow to each other when they start working together, and when students bow when they first walk onto the training area. When we bow, we look up at the person and make eye contact. When we bow, we are telling ourselves and the entire school that we take the things we are about to do seriously, and we are ready and prepared to do what is necessary for our training. If we treat things as though they are important, we are treating them with respect, and we can create a place of learning. This also applies to our interactions with people. When we treat our Instructors, fellow students, parents, family members as though they are important, as though they have something to offer us, we are treating them with respect, and we are building strong relationships and opportunities to learn from each other.
