It is said that Judo begins with respect and ends with respect (礼に始まり、礼に終わる). One way to see this aspect of Judo is bowing. You bow when you enter the dojo; you bow to your teacher; you bow to your partner; and you bow when you exit the dojo. But is this all there to "respect"? In this episode, Shintaro and Peter discuss what respect means within the context of Judo.
