Tatami

In the tatami section we will discuss all matters to do with the tatami. The first thing to notice is that if you move the mouse over the Japanese terms which are in bold italics a box will open with the English translation. From the rei at the edge of the tatami at the start of eacf session to the rei at the end of the session. Here we will present information and Japanese terms.
Of course, when we say the edge of the tatami we also mean at the door to the dojo for those of us who do not have a tatami which extends to the door. In this case members should rei at the door and then when they step onto the tatami
