The '''Fighting Dojo''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|格闘道場|かくとうどうじょう}}''' ''Fighting Dojo'') is a former [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] located in [[Saffron City]].

In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|II}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the Fighting Dojo remains open and hosts {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who specialize in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Generation IV]], the [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] [[region]]s convene here and may be challenged to a rematch.

The Fighting Dojo was first seen in the [[Generation I]] games, positioned to the west of the [[Saffron Gym]]. In these early games, it was established that the Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once competed against each other to determine which one would be the [[Indigo League]]'s sixth Pokémon [[Gym]]. Due to the [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]] that Saffron Gym's {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon had over the Fighting Dojo's Fighting-type Pokémon, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official gym.

Although no [[Badge]] can be won in the Dojo, the unofficial Gym remains open and continues to accept challenges. Four {{tc|Black Belt}}s test the {{player}}'s abilities before the player can challenge their master, the [[Koichi|Karate Master]]. The reward for defeating him is a choice between {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}}; both Pokémon are at level 30.

''For more details on how to rematch the Gym Leaders, see {{DL|Rematch|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|Rematch}}.''

Aesthetic differences aside, the Karate Master is now known as the Karate King. The student at the Dojo also informs the {{player}} that the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and Johto are allowed to use the Dojo to hold [[rematch]]es with them, much like how the [[Sinnoh]] Gym Leaders can be found for a rematch at the [[Battleground]] in {{game|Platinum}}. However, unlike Platinum, the Leaders will not arrive at the Dojo until they have been called on for a rematch.

''Fighting Dojo''

The Fighting Dojo challenge in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] is similar to FireRed and LeafGreen, down to the final opponent being Koichi (Japanese: タケノリ ''Takenori''). The {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} the player can receive are placed back at level 30 to better fit with the game's level curve, and the burden of choice is lessened, as the player can catch more Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan at {{ka|Victory Road}} as rare spawns. In addition, the Dojo has an additional {{tc|Coach Trainer}} who will reward them with {{TM|23|Thunder Punch}}, as well as two [[Master Trainer|Master]] {{tc|Black Belt}}s who, fittingly, specialize in Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan.

==In the anime==

[[File:Fighting Dojo anime.png|thumb|250px|The Fighting Dojo in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

===Main series===

Karate Master [[Kiyo]] appeared in ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]''. However, he doesn't seem to be related to the Fighting Dojo in the anime.

The Dojo debuted in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', being incorrectly referred to as the "Pokémon Dojo" in the English [[dub]]. The Dojo's leader, [[Master Hamm]], wanted his son [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]] to take over the Dojo, but Kyle wanted to run his noodle restaurant instead. They decided to have a [[Pokémon battle]] to settle their differences, but Master Hamm blew his back during the battle, preventing him from finishing the fight. As such, he chose to let {{Ash}} fight in his stead, while Kyle chose {{an|May}} to battle in his place. After a bit of sparring to get used to Master Hamm and Kyle's {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, Ash and May restarted the battle. However, the battle was interrupted again, this time by {{TRT}}, who tried to steal the Fighting-type Pokémon for themselves, but were stopped by [[Terri]]. In the end, Master Hamm let Kyle follow his dream of selling noodles, appointing Terri as his successor instead.

The Dojo reappeared in ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', when Ash visited it to battle the [[Koichi|Karate Master]], implying in the process that Terri stepped down as the master at some point prior to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. While there, [[Goh]] struggled to choose between getting a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or a {{p|Hitmonchan}}. When Ash went to battle the Karate Master, he discovered he'd just been beaten by [[Bea]] and had a [[World Coronation Series]] battle against her, only to be defeated. Afterwards, Goh successfully defeated the Karate Master and received a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Hitmonchan}} as a prize.
