Chikara Dojo

The Chikara Dojo was a martial-arts school in New York City owned by Danny Rand and managed by Colleen Wing, who also acted as the main sensei of the dojo. Following the Excavation of Midland Circle, the dojo was closed, although Rand and Wing continued to live at the dojo.
==History==
===Running a Business===
When Colleen Wing finished her training under her sensei, Bakuto, she was granted the dojo by him to start teaching youths in order to grant them a scholarship. In reality, the dojo functioned as a recruiting hub for the Hand. The students who succeeded in getting a scholarship was sent to Hand Compound to continue their training and getting further indoctrinated into the Hand.Iron Fist: 1.10: Black Tiger Steals Heart
Wing, being a member of the Hand but unaware of their true nature, continued to teach youths and grant them a scholarship, believing that it will give them better lives outside the streets of New York City.Iron Fist: 1.04: Eight Diagram Dragon Palm
===Lack of Finance===
The dojo suffered financially due to the lack of students and Wing struggled to keep the place running. She kept putting up flyers to attract more students to her dojo, which Claire Temple found and enrolled herself into. Wing eventually got the attention of Danny Rand, when she was out putting up flyers.Iron Fist: 1.01: Snow Gives Way
The dojo served as an unofficial home and base for Rand during his fight against the Hand. Rand brought the building to convince Wing to join him in his fight. The dojo had been attacked by Madame Gao's men and by the DEA.Iron Fist: 1.09: The Mistress of All AgoniesIron Fist: 1.10: Bar the Big Boss
===Wing's Discovery===
When Wing learned about Bakuto's and the Hand's true nature, she stopped training youths to be sent to the Hand, however she still continues to live and practice inside the dojo, as well as training her friend, Temple. The dojo was temporally abandoned when Wing joined Rand on his travel back to K'un-Lun.Iron Fist: 1.13: Dragon Plays with Fire
===Operating as Shelter===
Wing and Rand returned to the dojo, after spending months away hunting the Hand across the world. The dojo was unharmed by the earthquake that ravaged over New York. The dojo continues to serve as a home for Wing and Rand.
