The Ryōzanpaku Dojo is home to elite fighters who specialize in different styles of martial arts. The dojo is famous for its powerful members and is challenged by other dojos and single fighters so often that they charges its challengers and have a waiting list. Despite this, the dojo lacks money; during the YOMI Arc, it goes into bankrupt.
Although they are all immeasurably powerful, the masters of Ryōzanpaku are also very eccentric and prone to immature behavior. They have trouble interacting with normal people, mainly because they unconsciously release massive amounts of ki, which sometimes makes the people they encounter feel nauseated. They are lazy procrastinators – only Ma and Kōetsuji are shown to bring in any steady income, Shio gets larger sums of money for bodyguard mission for the Police, while Apachai and Shigure have childish tendencies.

Trivia
- The word Ryōzanpaku litterally means "Dragons Opening the Night". Dragons' being known as one of the most powerful creatures due to their knowledge and power in both japanese and chinese religions most likely represent the masters of the dojo itself. It can also mean "Seven Remaining Peace" which could refer to the seven masters and their goal to follow the way of the life preserving fist.
