At last someone who can help me. This is a sentence that my karate
teacher taught to me. It means "I'm glad to have worked/exercised
with you". He couldn't spell it, either.

I would write it as
Domo arigatoo usairu masu da.

I can't seem to find 'usairu' or any similar word, although it
appears to be a verb... Also the sentence structure is unusual.
I'll chuck it at my Japanese teacher for you...
