Toad Town Dojo

Mario and Bombette training at the Toad Town Dojo.

The Toad Town Dojo is a part of Toad Town featured only in Paper Mario. Here, Mario and the gang could practice their fighting skills against Chan (a Buzzy Beetle), Lee (a Duplighost) and The Master himself, a Toad martial artist. Each battle earns a harder challenge and recognition. In fact, this is the same as battling Jinx (and Jagger) in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

This is where Mario can earn the First, Second, Third, and Fourth-Degree Cards. Despite the fact that Mario can face really hard optional bosses here, no reward (or even Star Points) are given here, showing the battles are just a challenge.

Trivia

• Three people that Mario meets in his adventure in Paper Mario are members of the Dojo: a Toad, in Toad Town, just outside the Dojo with a First-Degree Card, a Dryite in Dry Dry Outpost with a Second-Degree Card, and a Bumpty in Shiver City with a Third-Degree Card.
• The Japanese characters on the Dojo's billboard read "Way of the old man" in reference to the Master.
