Never Back Down
In the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), this movie is the story of Jake Tyler (played by Sean Faris), a kid who has a troubled past. He is new in town, and he is portrayed as tough, leading with his heart and with his fist.
When attempts to fit in was not successful, and after being humiliated and defeated in a fight, his classmate introduced to him a sport known as MMA. Then he met his mentor Jean Roqua (played by Djimon Hounsou). It has become apparent to Jake that MMA is not really street fighting. Rather, it is a form of art that he wants to use and to master in defining who he really is.
