(DOVE) Dove & Dotonbori Gym dojo "Tiger Gym" opens ~ 28th June 2014

For the trainees, GUNSO said that he was always looking to put them through endurance tests in what he called an "Iron Wall" lineup. He made it sound like it was something out of The Raid with HAYATA on the 1st floor, TORU on the 2nd, Kabuki Kid on 3rd and Shoichi Uchida on the 4th. The dojo was to be multifunctional with not only wrestling taught there, different companies could hire it out to each martial arts, MMA etc. Dove owned it alongside another promotion, Dotonbori, which are based in Osaka.  

The gym was probably named after Tiger Oriental who appeared in Dove, and like all dojo's it is very spartan, with only a ring, basic facilities, and heating via a oil heater for the winter, with the big doors open in the summer. I don't think that it has any facility for trainees to live in the dojo, which is why they were stating that while all trainees where welcome, its preferable that they live locally in Hiroshima.

On the day of the opening to welcome fans and wrestlers alike, GUNSO put a sign outside that read "drinking party".
