This large, high-ceilinged room has padded walls, and soft mats cover the
floor.  Large racks holding weapons and armor line the walls.  This room
seems to be a training center for students at the academy to practice their
techniques.  It shouldn't be too difficult to convince someone here to spar
with you.  
     A long pliant willow twig has been left here.
