Dojo Drama and Shuriken Showdowns

PUBLISHED 9 MAY 2026

Dojo Life Returns

The world of ninjutsu training is about to be thrown into the spotlight once again with the forthcoming release of a brand-new episode of Dojo Life.

The documentary series takes viewers behind the scenes at Inyo Dojo in Bristol, where students train in the fighting arts of the Bujinkan under head instructor Raj Bhakerd. Combining martial arts action with the personalities and pressures of dojo life, the series offers a rare glimpse into the realities of modern ninjutsu practice.

This latest episode promises to be one of the most entertaining yet.

YouTubers Enter the Dojo

For the first time, YouTubers Keppa and Noosi step onto the mats to experience ninjutsu training for themselves.

What follows is far from an easy introduction.

Put through their paces by Bhakerd, the duo face a gruelling workout designed to test both physical and mental endurance. Flexibility drills push them to their absolute limits, while the pace of training leaves little room for recovery.

And then there’s Marcus.

The pair are left stunned when they encounter one of the dojo’s larger-than-life members, whose imposing size adds another layer of intimidation to the experience.

Pressure Builds Before the Big Demonstration

Away from the training floor, tensions are mounting as the dojo prepares for a public performance at the Japanese Cultural Showcase.

With work commitments, busy schedules, and students spread across different locations, rehearsal time has been severely limited. The challenge of bringing the team together begins to raise serious concerns over whether the group will be ready in time.

Then disaster threatens to strike on the day of the event itself.

One of the key members of the demonstration team—Simon—is nowhere to be seen.

As the clock ticks down, questions begin to mount. Can the performance still go ahead? Will the team have to adapt at the last minute? Or could the entire showcase be jeopardised?

Shuriken, Forfeits, and Full-On Chaos

Adding even more drama to the episode is a competitive shuriken challenge between Keppa and Noosi, complete with a forfeit awaiting the loser.

Viewers can expect laughs, pressure, exhaustion, and more than a few surprises as the pair discover just how demanding martial arts training can be.

More than just a martial arts documentary, Dojo Life captures the friendships, setbacks, humour, and determination that exist behind the scenes of dojo culture. One thing is certain: this episode will be packed with drama from beginning to end.
