In the heart of America, there's a state full of cornfields, cows, and a hidden cipher of epic proportions - Nebraska. A place so flat, you can watch your dog run away for three days. But don't let its calm demeanor fool you. This is a land where excitement bubbles up from the least expected places, namely the dojo where kids master the ancient martial art of Kobudo. Now, meet our hero, corn-fed Bobby "Bonsai" Benson. Bonsai Bobby, as his friends call him, is a Kobudo maven who's as hilarious as he is skilled. He trains fiercely with a bo staff that’s taller than two raccoons standing on each other's shoulders. When he's not knocking down cornstalks pretending they're ninjas, he's wowing his fellow Nebraskans with his quick wit and quicker bo staff. The dojo is his second home, and his fellow Kobudo kids his second family. They're a motley crew of jokesters, dreamers, and martial arts aficionados. There's Twirling Tina, who can spin her tonfa so fast that it creates a mini tornado, and Chuckling Charlie, who's never met a nun-chuck routine he couldn't fill with slapstick comedy. These Nebraska Kobudo kids are not just martial artists; they are cornfield comedians who make their training sessions as funny as they are intense. Their laughter echoes across the plains, a testament to the joy of friendship, the thrill of martial arts, and the timeless humor of a well-timed corn joke. They are living proof that Nebraska might be flat, but life here is anything but boring!
