The Dojo is a training place and is like where karateka can train both the spirit and the techniques of the Budo. You haven't to enter in the Dojo, with contrast or superficiality because it could be cause of dangerous accidents. When you are in the Dojo you must have good purposes and the rei is the focal point of this soul-state. Whit the first bow, the pupil ought to have a deep respect for his Sensei and demonstrate it with the rei. In the second bow, just before the beginning of the lesson, the karateka promises to training with intense and good prposes. With last rei, at the end of the lesson, the pupil shows his satisfaction for the training.
