EJs Warriors The Documentary
After turning his life around, Sensei EJ creates Warriors Karate Academy in the basement of Greater Glory Ministries in Columbus, Ohio. A summer school is created and the school quickly grows outside of the church and becomes involved in the community. After money struggles, location changes and other obstacles, including failing to make it to Nationals, the school fights back with a vengeance, overcoming every obstacle in their way. They go from a church basement to every news station and radio station in the city, on National Teams, and even fighting for the United States outside of the country.
