As I was browsing MMA videos, I came upon this hilarious video of Michelle “Karate Hottie” Waterson on martial arts comedy webseries Enter The Dojo Show. Waterson gives a little instructional on how to do the axe kick, which is then ridiculously re-interpreted by Master Ken. It wasn’t long before I had devoured the entire two seasons of this brilliant martial arts comedy series.
Master Ken is a caricature fashioned after the classic McDojo’s that have been endemic across the American martial arts landscape for the past few decades. Anyone who’s ever taken any martial arts can appreciate the ways in which he takes real life dojo experiences and just runs with it. Imagine The Office but with martial arts and Michael Scott as the dojo’s master. Genius. I laughed till I cried.
