Plot Synopsis

KIDDIE KAI is a docuseries that follows children who participate in martial arts -- kids for whom it's more than just an after-school activity and much more than a sport, it's a way of life. In a region of the Southeast United States, lies a legendary martial arts hot spot known simply as The Blackbelt Byway. There are dojos on nearly every corner -- welcoming kids of all backgrounds to train to be blackbelts. But in an area where every dojo claims to be the best and every parent wants their kid to train with the top sensei, the competition is fierce. It's a place where rivalries and long-standing feuds all culminate into epic showdowns. Rivals Sifu Mark Williams, World Champion Mr. John Chung, Shihan Cliff Kinchen, and Sensei Jeff McGregor all made a name for themselves in the 80s and 90s, and now is their chance to prove, once and for all, whether they are still deserving of their titles. From brand new gi to martial arts glory, which dojos will live up to their reputations and create the next generation of champions? The first three episodes of KIDDIE KAI dropped on Tuesday, September 6, 2022 on discovery+.
