EnterTheDojoShow

EnterTheDojoShow is an American YouTube channel that hosts the show of the same name, a YouTube show that first aired on 6th of August, 2011. A comedic martial arts series, it stars Matthew Page as Master Ken, an 11th degree black belt in his own martial art named Ameri-Do-Te, which he describes as a street lethal style which combines the best aspects from all martial arts and none of the bad parts, hence making it "best of all, worst of none". 
The show was created by Matthew Page, who wanted to create a series which combines two things which he was fond of: The Office and martial arts. The techniques of Ameri-Do-Te are generally highly humorous and ineffective, yet are portrayed by Master Ken as lethal techniques which make Ameri-Do-Te the deadliest martial art on the planet. Ameri-Do-Te was largely inspired by Matthew Page's own experiences when he travelled a lot and went from a dojo to dojo, many of which were seriously teaching all kinds of ineffective techniques.
The show has not seen new episodes since 2018, as all cast members aside from Matthew Page have moved on to other things. He still uploads new videos on a regular basis however, featuring Master Ken doing things such as badmouthing other martial arts and his own takes on recent events in martial arts. Common types of videos include Secret Streetfighting Tips, where he demonstrates Ameri-Do-Te techniques in various situations, and Master Ken's Privates, which feature other martial artists who demonstrate techniques, after which Master Ken says what problems he has with the techniques and then shows Ameri-Do-Te's take on it. Master Ken's Privates has featured several prominent martial artists, such as Michelle "Karate Hottie" Waterson, Cris Cyborg and Dean Lister, as well as other martial arts-focused youtubers, such as Sensei Seth, Jesse Enkamp and Ginger Ninja Trickster. 
==Characters==
Master Ken: The main protagonist of the show. An arrogant and delusional martial artist who strongly believes that his own personal martial art, Ameri-Do-Te, is the greatest in the world. Rank: 11th degree Black Belt. 
Todd: A green belt in Ameri-Do-Te, after most of the cast moved on to other things after season 4 concluded in 2018, he remained a regular part of the videos on the channel until 2022. He was most often on the receiving end of Master Ken's techniques.
Billy: At brown belt, the highest ranking practicioner of Ameri-Do-Te after Master Ken himself. He also wears a blue dougi, unlike all the other students who wear white. He is completely loyal to Master Ken and fully believes in effectiveness and superiority of Ameri-Do-Te.
Rachel: Purple belt, largely based on the stereotype of a middle-aged woman who is overconfident in her abilities after training a bit of martial arts. Generally the most violent and sadistic student of Ameri-Do-Te.
Anthony: Orange belt and the only one in the dojo who seems to be fully aware of how ridiculous and ineffective Ameri-Do-Te is. This however, leads to him being on the receiving end of many gags.
Cynthia: Orange belt. A shy and quiet woman but does have a creepy side to her.
Steven: White belt and a male model. Specifically, a hand model, hence why he wears latex gloves.

== Techniques of Ameri-Do-Te ==

* The Thrust of Freedom: The Thrust of Freedom is a technique that utilizes the pelvic muscles to strike an opponent or escape a bear hug.
* The Hurticane: A technique designed to take on groups of opponents.
* Speed Hitting: An advanced technique that allows its practioners to achieve what is essentially "super speed".
* Tiger Claws: One of the basic attacks of Ameri-Do-Te, can be used to blind enemy opponents or take down one's self when reversed.
* Groin Restomp: The primary finishing move of Ameri-Do-Te. Always restomp the groin.
== Trivia ==
* The show was primarily filmed at ABQ Karate, a dojo belonging to John Conway, who portrays Todd and holds a 4th degree black belt in Kenpo.
* Even the name Ameri-Do-Te is nonsensical. Translating from Japanese, it would roughly mean "Ameri-Way-Hand".
* Matthew Page himself holds a black belt in American Kenpo and has also practiced other martial arts such as BJJ, Aikido, Boxing, Stickfighting and Krav Maga. He does not own a martial arts school, as he considers himself a perpetual student.
* Ameri-Do-Te's focus on groin attacks was inspired by one particular dojo which Matthew Page once trained in, which had a special kind of sparring named groin sparring. According to the dojo, the only target that matters in a street fight is the groin.
* Ameri-Do-Te does not feature sparring, as according to Master Ken, its techniques are lethal to the point that students would kill each other if they did so. This is similar to many real world martial art schools which teach ineffective martial arts, which also do not feature sparring as they claim the techniques are too dangerous.
* Matthew Page generally uses a fake moustache when appearing as Master Ken. This has quite a large effect on his appearance, as he has said that he has spoken to people as Master Ken, and then later had the same conversation with the same people as himself, without them realizing that they are talking to the same person.
* Master Ken has received hundreds of challenges and some death threats, as some have not realized that he is a fictional character.
