Is there anything special about ‘seniority’?

by | Jan 9, 2019 | Etiquette

Your seniority date is based on the day you first start training.  It is relevant in Japanese martial arts when you are about to start a training session with your fellow dojo-mates; the more senior person usually takes the sword first. Also, when lining up at the beginning or end of training, the more senior students are to the right.
