A wooden house surrounded by ancient trees. Next to the door there is a board saying: Martial Arts Classes: Sword, Staff, Self-Defence.
Groups And Private Classes.
Hours By Arrangement
~Rhiannon~ Inside, there is a single large, light room. On the left and right side of the door there are racks with wooden training weapons. On the opposite side there is a small pedestal with carefully arranged flowers in a vase. Above it on the wall there is a pen-and-ink drawing of an ancient tree. The floor is covered by a thick layer of soft white sand. One of the long walls can be partially removed to reveal a view over the small garden behind the dojo. |

You're hereby made assistant instructor, Jack Sensei. There has a lot of work to be done to give all those newcomers more than just the chance of bare survival when encountering their first orc.

basically a training place for the arts of the way ( the way of the warrior, tea ceremony, flower arrangments.  ..). A martial arts place, in this case. |

btw Rhiannon. have you taught anyone before? i have trained people so completely it took me a year to train them. but this is a selected few. so i have not wasted all my years teaching though it is a noble art. i like to begin with with a graceful sword dance where i twirl my sword around and dance slicing through the air. i don't use it in battle it is more of a show off thing to make the students interested. they all learn how to do it in the end. that is what usually intrigues them. how do you like to start if you have ever trained people.

Oh, sorry, my fault. I thought this was a real world question.
*clears throat*
Yes, I have trained many noble warriors, as well as I had the chance to study under some of the most famous.

*Enters the Dojo, bowing at the door. Takes off her shoes and walks over to the pedestal. Kneels down in front of it and begins to meditate for a while. Bows and stands up again, starting with warming-up and stretching exercises, rolls and breakfalls. Begins to practice techniques against imaginary partners.*

*Finishes training. Writes "I'm over at the tea room" in the sand and starts walking through the garden.

*Reaches the tea room. Bows to the scroll at the wall. Doesn't bother with following the ceremonial way since nobody else is around. Just heats water and makes herself some tea.*
