The Fighting Dojo (Japanese: かくとうどうじょう Fighting Dojo) is a former Pokémon Gym located in Saffron City.

In the games

In Generations I, II, and III, the Fighting Dojo remains open and hosts Trainers who specialize in Fighting-type Pokémon. In Generation IV, the Gym Leaders of the Kanto and Johto regions convene here and may be challenged to a rematch.

Generation I

Generation I Fighting Dojo

Fighting Dojo

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 advantage that Saffron Gym's Psychic-type 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 Black Belts test the player's abilities before the player can challenge their master, the Karate Master. The reward for defeating him is a choice between Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan; both Pokémon are at level 30.

Unlike other Gyms, the Fighting Dojo has a simple design which has not changed much over the generations. Between its appearances from the Generation I games to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Dojo has maintained a wooden floor with no mazes or puzzles to solve. Pure strength and battle strategy is needed to succeed in here.

The two banners on the wall of the Dojo read "Struggle for vengeance!" and "A complicated fracture."

Generation II

Everyone Welcome!
Fighting Dojo

The most significant change in the Generation II games is that only one of the students is left and the Fighting Dojo is, at that time, much like Safari Zone, temporarily closed down. The Karate Master can be found training in Johto's Mt. Mortar. It is in this generation that his name is revealed to be Kiyo (Japanese: ノブヒコ Nobuhiko).

At the Dojo, there are two scrolls behind the student that say "What goes around comes around!" and "Enemies on every side!"

Generation III

Fighting Dojo

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen pose the same challenge to players as the original Generation I games. The key difference apart from the obvious aesthetic changes is the level of the gift Pokémon, which are now level 25.

The Karate Master is erroneously named Koichi (Japanese: タケノリ Takenori) in these games as opposed to Kiyo (Japanese: ノブヒコ Nobuhiko) in Generation II. This is an oversight on part of Game Freak and his name Kiyo was reinstated in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Generation IV

Generation IV Fighting Dojo with all the Gym Leaders

Everyone is Welcome!
Fighting Dojo

For more details on how to rematch the Gym Leaders, see Rematch.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Fighting Dojo is similar to Generation II. The same student is the only one left and the Karate Master is once again training at Mt. Mortar in Johto.

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 Leaders of Kanto and Johto are allowed to use the Dojo to hold rematches with him or her, much like how the Sinnoh Gym Leaders can be found for a rematch at the Battleground in Pokémon Platinum. However, unlike Platinum, the Leaders will not arrive at the Dojo until they have been called on for a rematch.

In the anime

The Fighting Dojo in Pokémon Origins

In the main series

Karate Master Kiyo appeared in the episode A Tyrogue Full of Trouble; however, here he doesn't seem to be related to the Fighting Dojo.

The Dojo debuted in Pasta La Vista!, in which it was erroneously titled as the Pokémon Dojo. It had the slogan "The Strongest Pokémon at the Pokémon Dojo." Master Hamm wanted his son, Kyle, to take over the Dojo. When Ash and Max got in, he ordered them to clean the floor. Later, Terri challenged the Master as well. In the end, Terri ended up running the Dojo, Kyle kept his noodle restaurant, while the Master decided to travel all around the world selling noodles.

In Pokémon Origins

Red visited the Fighting Dojo in File 3: Giovanni, soon after defeating Sabrina. He defeated Kiyo off-screen, obtaining his Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan as a prize of his victory.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Zensho manga

The Fighting Dojo appeared in Saffron City, where Satoshi was invited there by the Karate Master. After telling Satoshi about the basic history between the Dojo and the Saffron Gym, he told the young Trainer how Shigeru, Satoshi's rival, had recently beaten Sabrina, and she was now trying to sneak into the Silph Co. building in order to save her stolen telepathic Lapras from Team Rocket. The Karate Master begged Satoshi to go help her, and he agreed to do so.

Trivia

  • In HeartGold and SoulSilver, despite many Gym Leaders owning Pokémon that are dual-type with another Leader's specialty, only Magnezone and Pidgeot are used by more than one Leader. Lt. Surge and Jasmine both use Magnezone, while Falkner and Blue both use Pidgeot.
  • Morty is the only Gym Leader that uses multiple Pokémon of the same species in his rematch, with his two Gengar.
  • Clair is the only Gym Leader that does not use any Hoenn or Sinnoh Pokémon in her rematch.
    • She is also the only Gym Leader (other than Blue, who does not specialize in a type) to use Pokémon not of her type specialty in her rematch.
  • In Generation IV, while the player is in the Fighting Dojo, all Gym Leaders will respond to a call by saying that they are getting bad reception and suggest that the player call from a different place.
  • The Gym Leaders from Johto all appear on the left side of the Dojo, while the Gym Leaders from Kanto appear on the right side. This is most likely meant to represent the position of the two different regions that the Gym Leaders come from.
  • In Pokémon Black and White, Black Belt Thomas at Icirrus Gym says he is from the Fighting Dojo.
  • In Pokémon X and Y, Kiyo can be found from Lumiose City, trying to start a new Fighting Dojo in an apartment he has rented.
