Being Uchi-deshi in Iwama

Food money
Check how much is to be payed per week, and pay promptly. Apart from the work you are expected to do, you should also train your awareness to find anything that needs to be done on your own. Ask your dojo sempai or Nemoto Sensei, but try to take the initative yourself to get the job done. If you notice something that needs to be picked up, cleaned up or repaired, do it !

In general at the Aiki House and dojo
In Japan energy is very expensive. Make a habit of turning off lights when you do not need them, or when you leave a room. Remember also to close doors after you. Observe what other people who know about the dojo and the Aiki House are doing, and follow suit.

Keiko gi
Wash your keiko-gi frequently - after every practice if you sweat heavily. Japanese people are sensitive to body odors ( and many Western people are not - especially not to their own! ). Shower every day, and use cold water as much as possible. If during the cold seasons, use the warm water sparingly.
