Hello! One question: the bow (ritsu rei) is done before stepping on the mat (tatami) still wearing shoes, or after stepping and put the shoes neatly side by side?
That part of the video doesn't make sense. In the Kodokan no shoes of any kind are allowed beyond the reception area. You would never approach the mat in shoes.
Japanese dojo building is very different from foreign countries. Usually we don't wear shoes in the building. It means when we enter Tatami mat, we already don't have shoes. So this instruction is just an example. You can decide it in your dojo rules because originally Japan don't have that situation.
Very helpful
