Ah, finally, I found this thing!

A-hem:

Silly name, I know. But it works.

Outside a cleared plot of land, near a river and a forest, sits a sign. It reads:

A sign-up sheet for interested students is attached:

This thread isn't stickied mostly as whenever I discussed doing it, people said it wasn't necessary to sticky. It's link the FAQ should have been updated however.
 



Oriental Adventures 218
While Togashi listened to Shinsei expounding his philosophy to the first Hantei, he grew frustrated and stormed out of the court. Taking up a seat of meditation, he refused to move, or even to eat, until he understood this philosophy that Shinsei had brought. After he had fasted for nine days, Shinsei himself came to sit with the troubled Togashi. Togashi repeated his ultimatum-"I will not move until I understand"-and Shinsei responded with but three words: "Neither will I." After a moment, Togashi laughed and bit into a plum.

Samurai of the Dragon clan train in a simple dojo with Shinsei's three words painted on the wall. To the Mirumoto family, these words are a reminder that a samurai's duty is to his lord. While he was starving himself, Togashi was also starving those that he had promised to protect, and Shinsei's words reminded Togashi that he was being selfish in putting his own search for enlightenment over his responsibilities to others.

The Mirumoto school teaches a unique style of swordplay, rooted in this sense of duty. Mirumoto wrote, "Some people say I am a coward. A samurai's duty is to protect his lord. Are they so simple-minded that they cannot see that two swords serve their lord better than one?" The Mirumoto niten ("two-sword") style typically employs the wakizashi for defense rather than offense. Mirumoto niten masters are the military leaders of the Dragon clan. The Mirumoto family shoulders the responsibility of protecting the clan form attack and from assassination attempts.

The Dojo of Clawed Fury!

Sensai: Rrai-kesh (beneath the wings of Master Darkwolf's Dojo of the Predator)

Styles taught: Panther, Tiger, Wolf, Phoenix, Northstar, Claw, and Kama

Dojo record: 5-3

Students:
Rusty the Pokemon Master- learning: Wolf style
Rathan- learning: Northstar style
Sanctus Togashi- learning: Kama style


Standing atop the low Guardian Range mountains where he has made a home for himself in this land of Yberia, Rrai-kesh decides that the time is right for him to take on a student in the ways of combat. Looking around, he concludes that his home will make an adequate training ground. Walking once more through his territory, Rrai surveys it and checks that each area is ready for a visitor.

In the mountain cave at the center of his realm, Rrai finishes outfitting a second sleeping mat for a student. 'This cave will prrovide us adequate shelterr frrom the elements and a strrong defensive position in case of attack.'

Leaving the cave and walking east down the path, Rrai soon enters the forested area on the mountain slopes known as the Hunting Grounds. 'A good trraining grround forr generral exerrcise and light combat techniques this is.'

Following the nearby stream back west toward the mountains, Rrai comes to the dazzling waterfall pouring down from the cliffs above. 'A good place for meditation or for strength training and rock climbing.'

Continuing west, Rrai crosses the mountain tops again. Looking around, he imagines that he can see through the mists all the way to Northguard Keep or south to the Ancient Volcano. Continuing westward though, he soon decends once more into the Desert of Gems on the western side of the mountains. Walking through the sand and rock filled area, Rrai imagines teaching and practicing some of the more explosive and powerful combat techniques here where there is no risk of harming people or nature.

Nodding to himself in satisfaction, Rrai whistles for Gal-kerr, his battle cat. Leaping into the saddle, Rrai rides forth to post notices in towns, inns, and taverns along the way. The notices read as follows:

---Black Belt Rrai-kesh seeks ONE student to train in his newly forming 'Dojo of Clawed Fury'. If you are an honorable fighter that wishes to learn Panther, Tiger, Wolf, Phoenix, Northstar, Claw, or Kama style from Master Rrai-kesh, present yourself at his new dojo for consideration. The dojo can be found in the Guardian Range mountains south of Northguard Keep, west of the Hunting Ground woods, north of the Ancient Volcano, and east of the Desert of Gems.---
