Generation III Fighting Dojo

The Fighting Dojo is a former Pokémon Gym and a place where Trainers of Template:Type2 Pokémon convene in Kanto. It is located in Saffron City.

In the games

In the games, it is stated that the Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once battled against each other to determine which one would be the Indigo League's sixth Pokémon Gym. Due to the type advantage that the Template:Type2s that were trained at the Saffron Gym had over the Fighting-types used by the Dojo, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official gym.

Generation I Fighting Dojo

In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, the unofficial gym is fully open. In the building there are four Black Belt-students, with their master, the Karate Master, who in the remakes is named Koichi (Japanese: タケノリ Takenori). The reward for defeating him is a choice between Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan.

In the Generation II games, only one of the students is left and the Fighting Dojo is at that time, much like Safari Zone, temporary closed down. The Fighting Master, here named Kiyo (Japanese: ノブヒコ Nobuhiko), can be found training in Johto's Mt. Mortar. The reward for defeating him is a Tyrogue who can evolve into either one of the Pokémon he gave away in the other games, as well as Hitmontop.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto can be found here for a rematch.

In the anime

The 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 first real appearance of the dojo was however in Pasta La Vista!, in which it was erroneously dubbed Pokémon Dojo (格闘道場). 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 as well challenged the master. In the end, Kyle ended up running both the dojo and his noodle restaurant, while the master decided to travel all around the world selling noodles.
