Never Back Down

Jake Tyler is the new kid in town, with a troubled past. He and his family have recently moved to Orlando to support his younger brother's shot at a professional tennis career. Jake was a star athlete on the football team at home, but in this new city he's an outsider with a reputation as a quick-tempered brawler.<br /><br />At the invitation of a flirtatious classmate, Jake makes an attempt to fit in and goes to a party, where he is unwittingly drawn into a fight with a bully. He is defeated and humiliated in the fight, but a classmate tells him about Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) - he sees a star in Jake and asks that Jake meet with mentor Roqua.<br /><br />Jake sees immediately that MMA is not street fighting, but rather an art form he wants to master. Roqua takes Jake under his wing, but it is up to Jake to find the patience, discipline, willingness and reason to succeed. For Jake, there is much more at stake than mere victory: His decision will not just settle a score - it will define who he is.
