	You mean the MEAN streets of Tokyo? I don't see much chance for a real
good challenge their unless he was able to anger some VERY powerful
people and even then his training would be short (sorry kid, your making
too much of a distrubance <BANG>. If you want THAT kind of expierence
and training for the boy, have his father die in China. The journey for
a young boy through the wilds of mythical china would be QUITE an
expierence, to say nothing of early meetings with Taro and Mousse and
the Amazons. Then have him take all that training to Hong Kong to find a
ship to get back home. THOSE are some mean streets ;)

I'd have to agree with this.  Japan's crime rate is too low for anything
like that to happen, unless Ranma did something to anger the yakuza, which
the police generally ignore.
