Tamadora

Tamadora was a member of the Order of Osano-wo.

Monastery of Osano-wo
Late in his life, Osano-wo founded a martial arts school to pass on his considerable martial knowledge. He built a fine dōjō using timber he cut himself from the forest. He lined the walls with his favorite weapons and armor. Then, he waited for students. The very first was a diminutive old monk, Tamadora. She had no prior combat experience but had to travel frequently, and she wanted to learn to defend herself. Usual weapons were awkward for her short stature, so he suggested boxing, which turned out to be the correct choice, as she could duck and flank his massive frame easily. Osano-wo taught Tamadora how to use the hard parts of her body to strike the soft parts of his. Her favorite weapons were small knives and weights she could conceal in her hands or clothes. She became the second headmaster of Osano-wo's dōjō after his death, expanding the school into a monastery.
