Editing Dojo (section)

==Similar Cultural Establishments==
In Japan and other countries, there are additional names for training halls, that are equivalent to "dōjō". These include the following:

===Japan===
::*Heya ([[sumo]]). The name means 'Room'. As opposed to a Dojo, the Heya is a 'stable' for professional athletes. It also has its own special rules and etiquette. The attire is minimalistic, and the atmosphere is that of competitive comradery. It is also often a place where the wrestlers live, and not only train. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nippon.com/en/views/b02346/ | title=Daily Life at a Sumō Stable: A Visit to the Takadagawa Stable | date=23 August 2018 }}</ref>

===India===
::*[[Akhara]] ([[Indian martial arts]])
::*[[Kalari]] ([[kalaripayat]]) 

===Korea===
::*[[Dojang]] ([[Korean martial arts]]). This type of martial arts school is fairly similar to the Japanese variety. <ref>{{cite book|last=Park|first=Yeon Hee|author-link=Yeon Hee Park|year=2014|title=Tae Kwon Do: The Ultimate Reference Guide to the World's Most Popular Martial Art|publisher=Skyhorse |isbn=978-1626364257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=What Is A Dojang? |url=https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ae4f72d36099b34d8f82747/t/5b0c1eda0e2e723b74752c1d/1527520986396/54-What+is+a+Dojang.pdf |website=static1.squarespace.com}}</ref>

===Indonesia===
::*Gelanggang ([[silat Melayu]])
::* Sasaran ([[pencak silat]])

===Vietnam===
::* Võ Đường ([[Vietnamese martial arts|Việt Võ Đạo]]).

===Greater China===
::* Wuguan, mou kwen 武馆 ([[kungfu|Traditional Chinese Martial Arts]]). Literally: 'Martial Hall'. Similarly to a Dojo, there is a Confucian-like hierarchy between the students and teachers. However, the hierarchy often more so resembles a 'family', than a bureaucracy. The altar, which only exists in some of the Wuguan, may be dedicated to past Masters, deities, or both. That is unlike in a Dojo, where the pictures of Masters are usually not placed within the shrine itself. Historically, and sometimes still in our time, this type of cultural enterprise was used as a community center.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bluestein|first=Jonathan|author-link=Jonathan Bluestein|year=2024|title=Martial Arts Politics Explained|publisher=Amazon Digital Services LLC - Kdp |isbn=979-8335564984}}</ref> This is the opposite of many Dojos today, which join an extant community center, to become a part of it. The Wuguan is a central establishment in many kung fu movies, such as those of the [[Shaw Brothers Studio|Shaw Brothers]] company, and the films about late Wing Chun grandmaster [[Ip Man|Yip Man]] and martial arts folk hero [[Wong Fei-hung|Wong Fei-hong]]. 
::* Dojo/dojang is pronounced in Mandarin as ''daochang'' and Cantonese as ''dou cheung'' due to its Chinese characters used for the Japanese and Korean martial arts schools established in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
