In this short file Dojo Jon Paul a retired Nationally and International judo competitor with excellent tactical and technical ability in Judo and Self Defense demonstrate and applies throughout the film outstanding Judo and self defense moves and techniques that leaves you breathtaking.

As Judo Teacher for many years I was very impressed by the way the short film director was able to captured step by step all of the moves of the judo and self defense techniques in such a way that makes you feel as if you were next to the action in the dojo.

I highly recommend all Martial Art students to see.

DOJO is a Great Short Action Film that should be a full length Feature Film! Jon Paul has made the old school martial arts film current and exciting again. I appreciate the authentic technique and level of mastery. The beautiful cinematography and edits drive the story forward. It will be interesting to see the characters and story developed for a broader audience. In film, every element counts, the lighting, sound and camera angles all matter. It's also refreshing to see well trained martial artists as the characters. I highly recommend DOJO to a regular audience and especially to martial arts students who want to learn how it's really done!

Watching this film for the first time captured my attention on key details about the story and with the character Shane Lucas that makes it so interesting. Visualizing his enemies before it actually happened is what made it so good! Especially how there is a message being sent here about overcoming your fears, staying focused on the task at hand, and not letting your past control you, that you have a choice in the present moment to take control of your life. The way the cinematography was shot with the superb acting done with Jon Paul, Christofer Aguero, and the rest of the cast made this short film a masterpiece.
