Art of Submission (2012)

In the gritty underbelly of the city, a young auto-mechanic named Johnny (Ernie Reyes, Jr.) scrapes by, laboring under his father's watchful eye by day, and transforming into a hopeful Pro-MMA fighter by night. Nurtured by the wise yet stern guidance of Sensei Gene (Ving Rhames) at the local MMA gym, Johnny's life takes an unexpected jolt when he falls for the Sensei's captivating daughter (Sara Downing). Torn between his humble existence and the allure of a more prosperous life for his young family, Johnny is drawn into the perilous world of a steroid pusher, hoping to supplement his income. However, when his dangerous side job careens off course, Johnny must grapple with the shattered fragments of his life. "Art of Submission," an intense drama inspired by real events, explores the journey of a fighter who discovers that raw talent alone isn't enough to triumph in the brutal arena of life. It's a sobering reminder that the most rewarding victories are driven not by power or ambition, but by a noble purpose. As Johnny fights to mend his fractured world, viewers are drawn into this visceral tale of endurance, love, and redemption.
