What makes someone a
weekend
warrior?
This is the more appropriate question to ask since it's directly relevant to your documentary. Talking about warriors has nothing to do with any recreational activity. On the other hand, weekend warriors is exactly the type of person jjcruiser mentions and most likely the kind of person you see doing LARPs and such. I don't think the same can be said for kendo/iaido as I think the average practitioner of JSA takes his training more seriously but since those are activities that are likely going to have superficial appeal to the target audience, it's probably fair to include them. I don't think the exposure will hurt and when they get into a real dojo, it'll be a good opportunity to broaden their perspective. I do think however, that if you mention JSA, you include a little bit of how to differentiate "McDojos" from places that teach proper JSA. At the very least, mention a weblink to a site with correct information.
