The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
The training targets look like giant punching bags, unlike the traditional stick-figure training dummies you see in capitol cities.
Does anyone else find it funny that when you destroy another trainee's training target they compliment you? I would think their fur would get alil ruffled from someone destroying their target and getting in their way, but that's me.

I'd like to observe you putting your new weapon to use, my young student. This will aid me in determining what degree of training will be best suited to your talents. We have many training targets in the training grounds below. Practice your attacks upon them, and return to me once you're feeling comfortable with your new weapon.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Lesson of the Iron Bough
First, you will need weapons suited to your talents. Retrieve an axe and a shield from one of the weapon racks below, bring them to me, and show me that you know how to hold them properly.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Lesson of Stifled Pride
Facing a living opponent is a very different thing from the stationary targets in the yard. Living opponents strike back. There is the very real fear of failure, and sometimes, even death. You must have the courage to overcome those fears.
