Is there room for principle in Los Angeles? Mike Terry teaches jujitsu and barely makes ends meet. His Brazilian wife, whose family promotes fights, wants to see Mike in the ring making money, but to him competition is degrading. A woman sideswipes Mike's car and then, after an odd sequence of events, shoots out the studio's window. Later that evening, Mike rescues an action movie star in a fistf... ight at a bar. In return, the actor befriends Mike, gives him a gift, offers him work on his newest film, and introduces Mike's wife to his own - the women initiate business dealings. Then, things go sour all at once, Mike's debts mount, and going into the ring may be his only option.

I've been doing ma since i was 5 and this is what you learn in day one "honor and respect". The whole movie was about honor and respect the school and yourself. Putting material things aside ,such as money and fame. This is now by far one of my favorite movies. and as for the comments of lack of fighting. go to and ma school and ask how many teacher have been in real fights you are tought not to fight but prevail ma's is not all punches and kicks there's a code
