The Feathered Claw Dojo was a bold experiment made at Ninkatoshi, a dojo originally constructed by ambitious military officers on both Lion and Crane Clans, in hopes of learning the other Clans' secrets. That ambition faded over time as the sensei learned to trust one another, serving more to teach how to trust one another and respect the others' level of skill. Its students were a mixture of both veteran and inexperienced troops. It taught the Akodo Bushi, Kakita Bushi, Akodo Elite Guard, and Kenshinzen schools.
