At the end of class everyone gathers around the sensei in seiza and bows simutaneously while saying thanks I think. But I don't know what everyone is saying. I believe its Arigato with something added to it. Could someone possibly help me out?
Much thanks in advance.

Doh-moh ah-ree-gah-toh goh-zah-ee-mah-shtah - thank you for what you have done (taught me)

You can also hear people say something before they face each other in jigeiko. Onigaishimashite, roughly translated, give me your wisdom (or that's how it was given to me by one of my dojo mates from Hokkaido.)

That's 'onegaishimasu' before training.

<fwwwpppp!!!!> The quick intake of breath when you realize you just gave someone inaccurate information.

Thanks, Hamish.
