[2][3] Since ancient times, dojoyaburi was an established way for Japanese martial arts organizations to gain popularity and students.
[5][6] Its usage fell with the prohibition of taryujiai, which limited martial arts competitions to the bounds of every school, but it blossomed again when the ban was lifted during the Edo period.
[8] The custom gained controversy in 1970 when a man died in a dojo storm performed by Count Dante and his students on the rival Green Dragon Society's Black Cobra Hall.
[9] A practice similar to dojoyaburi happened in professional wrestling, where legitimate grapplers like Yoshiaki Fujiwara became famous for engaging and defeating martial artists that came to challenge his promotion.
[10] The history of vale tudo and mixed martial arts also contained several instances of dojo storms, most notoriously those performed by the Gracie family as part of their promotional story for Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which led to the creation of Ultimate Fighting Championship.
