Haikikku Dojo
[Training|Private]
General
Inside of a forest that stretches over miles of rolling hills, the Land of Sound houses one of their infamous capoeira masters and his dojo -- high on top of one of the hills and surrounded by trees and fresh grass. There are few people who travel out this far and the master, Alfonso, has been living in quiet solitude for many years. Few people came to him in order to learn capoeira, usually because people had never heard of it. The dojo is on a raised platform, that was constructed decades ago by dedicated devotees, with rough steps that lead to the front door. As one immediately entered the dojo, they would come upon a hallway with many doors that eventually lead to an open area that looks very similar to an arena. It is in this chamber that trainers and their masters often trained and sparred, and where competitions were held between trainees. Many of the doors on either side of the hallways lead to bedrooms, but some lead to areas for stored weapons, armor, and other tools that may be useful to the master. At the back of the dojo is a door that leads into a garden, and a flight of stairs leading down to another building. Inside the second building is a small shrine and meditation room dedicated to all sorts of deities and spiritual practices. Alfonso does not often show trainees this building, waiting until they are ready mentally and physically to take on what lies within. Down from this building lay a pond and a small garden which Alfonso cares for several animals which inhabit the area. At times he will send students her to study, collect herbs or animals, and train in nature. He has been fond of saying that nature is the best teacher.Layout
