Episode 47 - Master Ken & Mr. Matt Page

<h1>Master Ken & Mr. Matt Page - Episode 47</h1> <blockquote> <h5><em>They beat the crap out of him, you know? Took his belt away. Foot stomped him, put cigarettes out on him. Threw him in the dumpster. And so I felt responsible, you know? Because I had given him the confidence too early. So I went to see him in the hospital, and I saw him laying there all beat up and broken. And that's when I demoted him.</em></h5> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.whistlekickmartialartsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/master-ken-2.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-763"><img alt="Master Ken" class="size-medium wp-image-763 alignleft" height="169" src="http://www.whistlekickmartialartsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/master-ken-2-300x169.jpg" width="300" /></a>Today we have a very different episode of Martial Arts Radio. Episode 47 marks our first interview of a fictional character, Master Ken, the beloved start of the breakout YouTube hit, Enter the Dojo. Our first portion of the episode is with the legendary founder of Ameri-Do-Te himself. Later, we're joined by Matt Page, the actor behind the character.<a href="http://www.whistlekickmartialartsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Whistlekick0815-50.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-638"><img alt="whistlekick-sweatpants" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-638" height="300" src="http://www.whistlekickmartialartsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Whistlekick0815-50-200x300.jpg" width="200" /></a></p> <p>If you're not familiar with the show, it's a biting, sarcastic and sometimes all-to-true portrayal of the traditional martial arts. If you're willing to laugh at the martial arts, and maybe a bit at yourself, you'll enjoy it. With over 150 thousand subscribers, Enter the Dojo may be one of the most successful martial arts-related independent productions of all time.</p> <p>There are some surprises in this episode that I hope you'll enjoy. While I rarely spend much time with a guest before their appearance, there's usually a bit of pre-show. Master Ken, Mr. Page & I spent very little time in the pre-show, electing to just sort of let it happen. That was the right call, and I have to say, this episode was a blast. Enjoy. ~jeremy</p> <h1>Show Notes</h1> <p> </p> <div class="mceTemp"> <dl class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_762" style="width: 251px;"> <dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.whistlekickmartialartsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Matt-Page.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-762"><img alt="Matt Page" class="wp-image-762 size-medium" height="300" src="http://www.whistlekickmartialartsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Matt-Page-241x300.jpg" width="241" /></a></dt> <dd class="wp-caption-dd">Matt Page, the man behind Master Ken</dd> </dl> </div> <p>Actor - Jean Claude Van Damme</p> <p>Movies - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Impact" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Double Impact</a> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbQFVAqi_lo" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Bolo Yeung Fight Scene</a>), <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092675/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Bloodsport</a> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXFBggMSgo8" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Final Fight Scene</a>)</p> <p>Enter The Dojo Show <a href="http://www.enterthedojoshow.com/index.php" rel="noopener" target="_blank">website</a> and on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/EnterTheDojoShow" rel="noopener" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p> <p>Master Ken on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MasterAmeriKen" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/masterameriken/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/masterameriken" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0415195/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">IMDb</a> or <a href="http://masterkenlive.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Schedule a Live Appearance</a></p> <p>Ameri-Do-Te on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Ameri-Do-Te-245188898854297/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p> <p>Matt Page on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0656275/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">IMDb</a></p> <p>If you've never watched the Enter the Dojo show, the video below is not a full episode, but a wonderful introduction to the creativity and sense of humor it brings.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" class="mce-object mce-object-iframe" height="157" src="" width="280" /></p> <p> </p>
