Many traditional martial arts are well known for having extensive lists of rules and etiquette that must be followed in the dojo.

Al and Marcus discuss some of their thoughts and experiences on respect and hierarchry in the martial arts.

Note: There were some issues with my microphone. I tried to edit them the best I could, so I apologize if the occasional glitch gets distracting.
