The Dojo

The Dojo (also called the Sala City Dojo) is a tranquil martial arts training hall located near the outskirts of Sala City. It serves as the workplace and home of the Aikido Sensei, who teaches Dook and Flops in their first recorded appearance, Roll With the Punches.

Overview

• Built in traditional style with sliding doors, tatami mats, and occasional reality distortions.
• Functions as both a martial arts school and meditative retreat.
• Its garden occasionally rearranges itself to form perfect circles when lessons go well.

Appearances

• Featured in the pilot episode Roll With the Punches — where Dook and Flops train under the Aikido Sensei.
• Mentioned in Aikido Sensei’s profile as his primary location.

Notable Residents

• Aikido Sensei — Head instructor, feline master of aikido and dreamlike patience.
• Dook — Student, though his lessons tend toward philosophical side quests.
• Flops — Student, whose enthusiasm occasionally endangers structural integrity.

Trivia

• The floorboards are said to hum in resonance when lessons reach enlightenment.
• Dook once bowed to the wrong end of the mat for an entire day.
• Flops called it “a building that teaches you how to fall more politely.”
