Description
Ancient wisdom should guide a sword.
A traditional dojo trains young men in the skills required of the samurai. It enables the recruitment of "old fashioned" units and agents.
The word "dojo" means "the place of the way"; it is a formal setting for a particular art, not even necessarily combat related. For samurai extensive training and constant practice was absolutely necessary, and a dojo of some kind was almost required, even if this was only a courtyard set aside for the work. While all swords require skill from the user, the katana makes greater demands than other weapons. Kenjutsu, the art of using a sword, could take decades to truly master. More relevant to the samurai of the Tokugawa Shogunate were specialised skills such as iaijutsu, a self-defence technique of drawing and striking with the sword in the same instant. This skill had forms that could be used in defence even when sitting down to dinner!
Other Information
Although the Traditional Dojo hampers Clan Development, it's still valuable for the extra recruitment slot that it provides which is helpful for raising units quickly without having to spend extra turns on recruitment. It also enables the recruitment of Shinobi agents and Yari Kachi which are much more reliable for defending against cavalry than Spear Levies. Other than that, there's actually little incentive to have traditional units in the first place.
