Legendary Boxer Chris John Steps into the Ring for Animated Series 'Dragon's Dojo'

In a groundbreaking move, Singapore's Silver Media Group has joined forces with Indonesian boxing icon, Chris John, to bring Asian folklore to life through an action-packed animated series titled 'Dragon's Dojo'. The collaborative project aims to introduce the vibrant mythology of Asia to global audiences. This exciting venture marks the beginning of ASERYA - an interconnected Asian Mythology Franchise that spans animation, comics, games, and merchandise. The franchise brings together real-world figures, young protagonists, and mythical beings from across the continent in a storyline that promises to captivate audiences worldwide. 'Dragon's Dojo' introduces ancient creatures invading the modern world, prompting heroes from different countries to unite against a looming darkness threatening their region. In this high-stakes narrative, Chris John takes on an animated persona as the head instructor and mentor at the titular martial arts academy, which provides support for young individuals facing adversity. As creatures from Indonesian mythology emerge to threaten his students' community, Chris and his disciples find their battle extending beyond monsters to their inner struggles. The series is designed as a multi-platform franchise, offering potential extensions into comics, games, and merchandise. With its blend of martial arts, Asian folklore, and values-driven storytelling, 'Dragon's Dojo' promises an exciting adventure that combines the legacy of a true champion with the richness of Indonesian mythology. Chan Gin Kai, founder and CEO of Silver Media Group, expressed his excitement about sharing Asia's untold stories with a new generation: "With ASERYA, we aim to build an interconnected universe where these stories can come alive for audiences everywhere." He further added, "Through 'Dragon’s Dojo', we combine Chris John’s legendary status with the power of mythology, action, and storytelling that resonates with values. We're thrilled to embark on this journey, opening doors to a wider universe of stories from across Asia." Chris John shared his enthusiasm for the project, stating that martial arts encompass more than just fighting techniques; they teach discipline, respect, courage, and resilience. "My boxing career has taught me that victories are not only achieved in the ring but also in overcoming life's challenges," he said. "With 'Dragon’s Dojo', we bring these values to life in an exciting adventure where young people can discover their strength, purpose, and the courage to find their own path." Harun Kurniawan, a longtime Indonesian TV executive, emphasized Indonesia's rich cultural heritage and unique stories passed down through generations. "Through 'Dragon’s Dojo', we have an opportunity to bring these elements into a contemporary format and introduce them to audiences worldwide," he said. "We're creating something that is proudly Indonesian while being part of a much larger Asian storytelling universe." Oliver Guse, co-founder of Koollab Studios, believes the future of entertainment lies in collaboration between creativity, technology, and innovative storytelling methods. "With 'Dragon’s Dojo', we combine creative vision with new production possibilities, bringing Indonesia's rich culture and mythology to audiences around the world," he said. Production details for 'Dragon’s Dojo' are yet to be announced, but fans can expect an epic journey filled with action, adventure, and the timeless values that have made Chris John a living legend.
