Lesson 1
Karate begins and ends with courtesy. This is an old karate saying.

Courtesy means formal politeness, or treating others the way you want to be treated. This is the golden rule.  We express that courtesy evetytime we bow, or use our 7 courtesy words like please and thank you.  Give example of using courtesy and also a situation where someone does not use courtesy.
