Picture of the first day of students joining the FMW Dojo on September 15, 1989 with Atsushi Onita.
The FMW Dojo opened up on September 15, 1989 to give the new FMW promotion some new talent and be able to create its own women's division with Tarzan Goto training them. Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto held try outs to everyone applying by having physical fitness test as well as a Q & A with the students before selecting who would be admitted into the FMW Dojo. 13 people would be chosen to train under Tarzan Goto to become a wrestler. The wrestlers would move to Kawagoe, Saitama and live in the FMW Dojo and train during the day and night.
After three weeks of training, three of FMW's women wrestlers were selected to make their debut in a handicap match for FMW's debut show on October 6, 1989.
