Starring Cody Hackman (5-time world champion in karate), Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens), Nick Bateman (4-time world karate champion), as well as stars MMA Lioto Machida, Anderson Silva и Krzysztof Soszynski.
The plot is based on the story of a wayward young man Michael Shaw (Hackman), whose parents were killed during a car theft. He starts studying karate at the sensei's Reggie (Bean) and finds a new family, but eventually finds out that one of his parents' killers has become a champion MMA.
Screen Veteran Michael Biehn was amazed by the coherence of the work of the Canadian film crew, consisting mainly of young people. In its turn, Allan Ungar said that the film should reach a wide audience - both the younger generation (due to the rapidly growing popularity of MMA) and older people, fans of action films of the 80s and 90s.
