Jake Tyler is a tough kid ... more
Jake Tyler is a tough kid who leads with his fists, and often, with his heart. He is the new kid in town with a troubled past. He has recently moved to Orlando, Fla., with his family who has relocated 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 is an outsider with a reputation for being a quick tempered brawler. Making an attempt to fit in, at the invitation of a flirtatious classmate, Baja, Jake goes to a party where he is unwittingly pulled into a fight with a bully named Ryan McDonald. While he is defeated and humiliated in the fight, a classmate introduces himself to Jake and tells him about the sport known as Mixed Marshall Arts (MMA). He sees a star in Jake and asks that he meet with his mentor, Jean Roqua,. It is immediately apparent to Jake that MMA is not street fighting, but rather an art form he wants to master. Roqua will take Jake under his wing, but it is up to Jake to find the patience, discipline, willingness and reason within him 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. hide

Not just another teen movie. Jake has some real problems that he must face on his way to becoming an adult. Choices define people and what they become and Jake has HEART. It serves him well. Mistakes he has made and continues to make, but they provide for him a means to correct his personality.
Sean Feris, seemed familiar to me and not because of his TV roles--since I do not watch TV; it was I determined his similarity to Tom Cruise.
Have we seen this movie before--isn't this just a retelling of Rocky? Nope. An underdog fighting for his chance to overcome his limitations is about all that is the same. Rocky was below the standard in academic performance, while Jake definitely was not. Many are the differences otherwise. A great movie and one I would recommend to anybody.

Though unrealistic at times with parts (I\'m a mma fighter) and dramatized, for a MOVIE it wasn\'t that bad. It kept me very entertained, but this movie shouldn\'t take their training and substitute with that of a real gym. In all 5 out of 5 stars.

Action Action Action!! I enjoyed the movie. I am a big UFC fight fan and this movie gave me some good inside action in terms of the training involved in being the best. The movie also had a nice subplot about the trainer facing his fears and going back home to see his father.
