The Training Area can be unlocked for the first time by first going to the Buddy Plaza. Buddy Expert Shirubei will introduce you to all Buddy Plaza facilities including the way to get to the Training Area.
Approach the boat then move to the Training Area! Once you've been to the Training Area for the first time, Training Area fast travel via the Village Map will be unlocked.

You can go straight to Kamura Village, the Gathering Hub, and your Room by talking to the Training Area Palico!
You may use the training area to test out your weapon and armor builds so you can take down monsters more efficiently! This can also be a training ground for when you want to get used to a certain new weapon you want to try!
You may also change weapon types on the fly! Just interact with the Item Box near the entrance and choose Manage Equipment.
With the introduction of Switch Skill, the Training Area conveniently put an Item Box that allows you to customize your Switch Skill build on the fly. Just interact with the Item Box and choose Change Switch Skill.
Switch Skills Guide: How to Use Switch Skills
In Monster Hunter World, only one player can enter the Training Area. In Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise), you will be able to practice in the Training Area with your friends!
How to Play Online: Local Co-op and Demo Multiplayer
While in the Training Area, all your items will not be consumed. This is useful when you want to know the effects of certain consumables like Dash Juice or Demon Powder on your overall playstyle. You Bow Coatings and Bowgun ammo don't get consumed too!
The Hunter (or Hunters, in multiplayer) can bring Buddies inside the Training Area. This can also be a way to test out different Buddy equipment for you to use!
Ranged weapons (Bow, Light Bowgun, and Heavy Bowgun) can be practiced here without wasting resources like ammo and coating. Improve your aim and damage dealt here!
You can change the different settings for Toadversary and the target range by accessing a menu while inside the Training Area.
To do this, head over to the Start Menu by holding the Plus (+) button or Esc then go to Quests Tab (Tab 2) → Training Options. From there you may choose to change Settings for:
A huge dummy in the middle of the Training Area called Toadversary resembles that of a Tetranadon. The dummy's action will depend on the Training Options set by the player!
Depending on the Training Option settings, the dummy will have either a melee attack (Stomp) or a ranged attack (Projectile). This is a huge help especially with practicing the timings for all the counterattack moves and silkbind attacks introduced in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise).

When hit with blunt weapons, the dummy can be stunned. This can effectively give you an estimate of how effective your blunt attacks can be.
A practice range for gunners (LBG and HBG users rejoice!) is present in the Training Area. This can help refine your aim to aid when you are fighting the real thing!
Cannons and Ballistae are present in the Training Area. You can use this to practice for when you need to use them in Rampages or in the Final Boss fight.
There is a secret mural on top of the waterfall behind the dummy in the Training Area. The mural looks centuries old and may hold secrets regarding the Rampage!
The fastest way to get to the mural on top of the waterfall is to set the Wirebug Gauge to Infinite Use in the Training Options then wiredash your way to the top! We suggest spamming ZL + ZR or Middle Click + MB4 then point the reticle towards the top of the waterfall!
The drawings on the secret mural depict the people of Kamura fighting against the Rampage. Not only that, there are silhouettes of specific monsters impressed on the mural - with the six of them confirmed to have Apex versions in MH Rise!

We think there is a pattern here and that we're going to get Apex Crimson Glow Valstrax in future updates but we don't know for sure until it's confirmed! Nevertheless, we are very excited!
