The Dojo Courtyard is an area in the north east mountains of Club Penguin Island, serving as the entrance to the Dojo. After becoming a Ninja, penguins gain access to the Ninja Hideout to the left of the courtyard.
History[]
The Dojo Courtyard was released on February 5, 2023, following the opening of Club Penguin Journey. The Dojo Courtyard was covered with snow, and penguins were encouraged to drill or shovel the snow as part of the Dig Out the Dojo project.
During the event, mounds of snow were gradually uncovered from the Dojo Courtyard in 4 stages. Penguins were encouraged to drill or shovel the snow. In the first 2 stages, Sensei could be seen shoveling snow beneath the torii (red gate). Additionally, the Dojo could only be accessed through the hole in its roof, since the doorway was blocked by snow. The Dojo Courtyard became mostly uncovered during construction of the Card-Jitsu Party 2023, and the Geta Sandals were available to pick up under the torii, marking the third phase of the event. During its fourth phase, the release of Card-Jitsu along with the grand re-opening of the Dojo marked the conclusion of Dig Out the Dojo.
As of August 25, 2025, the volcano has been awakened, hinting the release of Card-Jitsu Fire within the coming months.
