Arrant Hold's Dojo Proposal:
 
DETAILS:
A place where townsfolk can go to blow off steam, and fight for sport, and to settle disputes in the ring, rather than to beat each other senseless and wind up in the hospital. This is for morale.
Also used as a training ground for melee combat. Occasionally holds Tournaments.
 
 
A List of Rules will be set aside to ensure the safety of all the participants within
(Items in Parentheses are OOC/GM rules corresponding with IC Rules)
 
Rule 1, No Battles in the Dojo Are Fought to the Death or to Hospitalize. We're here for sport and friendly competition. (Rather than using HP, fights are fought using Stamina [SP]. When a contestant's SP drops bellow 0, the fighting is over.)
 
Rule 2, Accident's Happen: A few broken limbs are expected, but the point is to avoid breaking anything.
 
Rule 3, All Fights must be monitored by a referee. (All Fights must be GM'd by someone not fighting)
 
Rule 4, the Ref can break up a fight if any of these rules are violated [The GM may interfere if someone takes it too far. Example, Fighter A still fights when Fighter B is below 0 SP.]
 
Rule 5, When a fight starts is not over until both fighters agree it is, or one of them is KO'd. [Fighters may leave if other pressing matters await, but unless both consent to this, it counts as a surrender.]
 
Optional Rule 7, Keep the Adult Happy Fun Times out of the Dojo [No ERP]
 
Rule 8, No Magic is allowed for risk of burning down the dojo. Keep it to melee inside.
 
Rule 9, Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy. [COBRA KAI!]
 
Players are allowed an encouraged to keep track of their own Win/Lose Scores.
 
BUILDING DETAILS:
The Dojo will be a small 50mē wooden complex consisting of two rooms. The floors and walls will be padded, to ensure the safety of others [Ikea recommends Straw Mats, Raident Dusk recommends Braided Leaves for Tatami] It will be divided into two 25mē rooms, [One for training, and one for sparring] Town resident Mary O'Nette will be asked to provide puppets to be used as Dummies for training.. It will be built near the Hot Springs, so that after the fighting , participants can go cool off and relax in the springs. It will not have much equipment or be fancy, at first, but it eventually, it will be filled with proper equipment and tools.
 
Some Recommended Equipment is:
Training Dummies
Punching Bags
Wooded Swords
