         2 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wall comprises at least one rigid or padded panel. 
     
     
         3 . The arena apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one rigid or padded panel comprises wood or metal. 
     
     
         4 . The arena apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one rigid or padded panel is a rectangular mat. 
     
     
         5 . The arena apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one rigid or padded panel is substantially planar. 
     
     
         6 . The area apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment structure configured to adjust the obtuse operative angle of the wall. 
     
     
         7 . The arena apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the adjustment structure comprises a plurality of connection points and braces configured to be selectively coupled to one of the connection points and a primary support rod comprising a proximal end coupled to the wall and a distal end coupled to the brace. 
     
     
         8 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the floor comprises at least one floor frame and at least one floor covering coupled to the floor frame. 
     
     
         9 . The arena apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the support comprises a primary support and a secondary support, the primary support and the secondary support mechanically coupled to the at least one floor frame. 
     
     
         10 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wall includes at least one wall frame and at least one wall covering coupled to the wall frame. 
     
     
         11 . The arena apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the support comprises a primary support and a secondary support, the primary support and the secondary support mechanically coupled to the at least one wall frame. 
     
     
         12 . The arena apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one wall frame comprises at least one wall frame primary support and at least one wall frame secondary support. 
     
     
         13 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the access point is a door defined along the perimeter. 
     
     
         14 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the access point is defined in the wall. 
     
     
         15 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , further the access point comprises at least one stair. 
     
     
         16 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the floor and the wall are each substantially planar. 
     
     
         17 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the wall is a first wall, and wherein the arena apparatus comprises four walls, the four walls comprising the first wall. 
     
     
         18 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the floor is square. 
     
     
         19 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a scaffolding system configured to elevate the arena. 
     
     
         20 . The arena apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the support is a floor of a room.
