Overview
Jake, full of anger after his father’s death, is just starting to find a place for himself at his new Orlando high school - until Ryan, head of an underground MMA fight club, picks Jake out as a prime opponent. After being trounced by Ryan in front of the entire school, Jake begins training under the firm, moral guidance of a MMA master, where he learns how to fight… and how to avoid a fight. But it becomes obvious that a rematch will be inevitable if Jake wants to stop Ryan and his bullying, once and for all.

Viewing Notes
The last disc from my library loan pile for the week, so we knocked it off.
NBD is pretty much a generic teen fish-out-of-water movie, completely interchangeable with any other movie in its genre. Think any dance movie, except with MMA in place of dancing; or really Karate Kid, except with… MMA.
Mildly entertaining, nothing more.
