Re: experiences in other MA dojos
I have trained in Shotokan dojo's and a couple of Shukukai dojo's over the years and all welcomed me as one of their own members, but interestingly I attended a Wing Chun based school and had a similar experience to Kyudo but without the pep talk.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing some 1980's TV footage of Enoeda sensei doing that as well.
