@JosephKerr27 3 года назад

When teaching students how to say certain phrases in Japanese, I keep it simple. お願いします before class and when bowing before your kumite partner. ありがとうございました when bowing after kumite and at the end of class. The concept of action completion between the tenses is too much unless they also want to study the language. Exposure to Japanese is vital, but I don't expect students to be scholars yet. We also use Okinawan language terminology, so it'd just confuse them more without a history lesson.

I started learning Japanese when I was in the Marines in Okinawa (1982-1985) and every time I learned something, I would write it down in a little green notebook that I kept in my back pocket. There was no Internet and no translating phones back then, so I would learn by trial and error. I recently found those notebooks and was horrified at the mistakes I had written in them. I'm surprised anyone could understand me at all. :)

@JerryGoNuts 3 года назад

Do you have a video on dojo etiquette in Japan? Starting from your home, going to the dojo, entering the dojo, changing room, before class, during class, ending class, going back to the changing room, leaving the dojo, and going home? Also, the students' roles and responsibilities at the dojo? Cleaning? administration? So why did I mention starting at home? There is a myth/rumor here in some circles here in the States that in Japan, students must clean and press their dogi before coming to the dojo, and the dogi must be folded in a certain manner. Perhaps that was true back in the 60s and 70s (that was when martial arts in the States was at an all-time high) -- come to think of it, perhaps you can make TWO dojo etiquette videos comparing today and 30 - 50 years ago. OH oh oh oh... While you are in Okinawa, ask the elderly senseis how dojo etiquette changed throughout the generations on Okinawa! That would be an awesome video. You can make it a series -- and it would be organic and grounded and not romanticized.

@KenpoKid77 3 года назад

He did one with Jesse Enkamp some time ago. Here you go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ke8L_sU081k.html Concerning the Okinawa series, I think it has already been taped and edited, because it starts this Saturday.

@woodsdavid2887 3 года назад

I've lived in Japan and have done karate here for almost 20 years. Etiquette varies from dojo to dojo, however there are a few things I've found to be constants: 1) Try to be on time. Things are punctual in Japan. 2) Definitely wash your uniform after every practice (who doesn't do this???); pressing is overkill. 3) Smells of perfume, deodorant, etc, aren't appreciated. 4) Shoes off, without exception, on the floor of the dojo and probably in the whole building. 5) Don't make small talk or goof around during practice. There are exceptions, but be mindful of the mood of the teacher and other students. 6) There will most likely be some kind of cleaning at the end of the practice. Sometimes it's the duty of just the lower ranks, and sometimes everyone pitches in. Regardless, be ready to help. 7) Bow before entering and bow before leaving, not to mention at the start and finish of class, before and after kata, kumite, and other exercises, etc. In short, watch what other people do. Listen to the words they use, and follow their lead throughout the lesson. The basic manners in Japan are not as difficult as what most people think they are, actually.

@BushidoDevilDog 3 года назад

If they are speaking somewhat standard Japanese (which is usually the case, especially on the main island), “ne” [〜ね?] at the end of a statement is kind of like the Canadian “..., eh?” It really doesn’t have a meaning on its own, it is merely used to illicit agreement and/or confirmation that the listener hears and understands what you said, if not necessarily agreeing 100% with what was said. If you would try to literally translate it, you could use phrases like, “ ...(blah blah blah), _isn’t it?_ _don’t you agree?_ _right?_ “ or even _“That’s right!_ or _”Hey!”_ (getting someone’s attention), depending on the context.

@animaterob 3 года назад

it means 'right?' or 'don't you agree?' like in いいお天気ですねね = ne 'it's nice weather, right?"

@animaterob 3 года назад

There's also another phrase used as confirmation as in "I agree with you" or "I feel the same way" which is 'ですよね' = 'desu yo ne' with the 'ne' dragged out and accented. I hope this makes sense.

@clausanders2886 3 года назад

@@animaterob Nobody uses 'ne' and 'yo' in the same sentence. And 'ne' is the same as 'isn't it'. One person says 'atsui desu ne' (it's hot, isn't it), the answer can be 'sou desu ne' (if you are lower) or 'sou desu yo' if you are the same or higher status. (instead of 'sou' you can also repeat the 'atsui'. 'ne' more a general agrrement where as 'yo' is your personal agreement.

@@BooLee01 : Okinawans are not Japanese by their nationality but by citizenship (a hard concept to understand by Americans). So no, they don't say osu. It's like Austrians and Germans speak same language but Germans say tschuss and I never ever heart any Austrian say this but auf wiedersehen only. Same here. And trolling is because it's Okinawan dojo and I use it in a way of Kyokushinkai (I've done a little bit of it too) which is a kind of a grandson to Goju-ryu (Japanese Goju-kai being a son). It's more of a context, I believe.

Question: When is it appropriate to use "Shitsurei Shimasu" as opposed to "Sumimasen" or "Gomenasai"

@KarateDojowaKu 3 года назад

That's a very hard question...I think there are better videos out there haha. My simple answer is that only Shitsurei Shimasu can be used as "excuse me"

@TheWesterlyWarlock 3 года назад

I could be wrong, but I feel like you use "shitsurei shimasu" if you are interrupting someone from doing what they are doing, whatever that may be. So like, if you want to ask a coworker a question and they are working, you might say their name, and then, "shitsurei shimasu. yoroshii desu ka?" (similiar to English, "Excuse me. Do you have a minute?") as "sumimasen" might be rude here unless you are above or equal to them. "Gomennasai" is only used, as far as I know, as an apology and never as "excuse me," though "sumimasen / sumimasen deshita" (for a friendly apology) or "moushiwake arimasen" (for a more formal apology) almost seemed more common to me for apologies. My impression was that "gomennasai" was more common for apologizing for a breech of etiquette (being a drunkard in front of your wife or using the wrong level of formality) or a misunderstanding (giving credit to the wrong person for doing a job or calling someone by the wrong name) than for an action (bumping into someone). Incidentally, bumping into someone because you weren't watching where you were going might also elicit "shitsurei shimasu." However, I'm just a gaijin who lived in Japan for 3 years, I could be very wrong and missing some nuances.
