Plot
"Dojo" is a reflection of the producer's lifelong passion for martial arts and storytelling. The short film tells the story of Shane Lucas, an ex-Yakuza member and 4th degree black belt in Judo, who is hunted down at his local dojo in Los Angeles by his long-time rival, Elias Da Rosa and his crew members.
