Never Back Down (2008)
editAfter moving to Florida with his mother and brother, Jake Tyler faces the challenges of being treated as an outsider at his new high school. Despite this, he looks for every opportunity to get to know his peers and tries to impress a girl from his classes named Baja Miller. Confronting the various challenging experiences of being bullied by his classmates with outbursts of anger, Jake gets into a fight at a party where he ultimately loses. Humiliated, Jake is encouraged by one of his peers named Max Cooperman to learn how to properly fight through athletic coaching. Introduced to Max's mentor named Jean Roqua, Jake discovers a new passion as he begins to learn mixed martial arts and becomes involved in a fighting tournament to overcome the expectations of those around him.[1][2]
