In the history of Japanese martial arts, dojoyaburi , also known as dojoarashi or as "dojo storming" in English, is the action of visiting a rival martial arts school in order to challenge its members. This usually led to taryūjiai , a fight between the visitor and a member of the school, usually its head or a fighter chosen for the challenge, where the superiority of their respective fighting styles would be tested. The losing side would also lose its martial prestige and in many cases, its apprentices would abandon it for the winner's school. The one who ends victorious in the stand off receives its rivals battle awards.
