"Feet together." "Bow." "Osu!" "Yoi!" "A little bit of exercise, a little bit of basics here today, guys." "Ready?" "Let's go." "Jumping Jacks to start." "Go!" "Jumping Jacks!" "Good stuff." "Push-ups!" "Go, push-ups!" "That's it, nice and low." "Try to get that chin all the way down and nice push up." "Now let's get everyone standing up." "Feet together." "Bow." "Osu!" "Okay, ready guys?" "Single punches." " One!" " Cha!" " Two!" " Cha!" " Three!" " Cha!" " Four!" " Ha!" " Five!" " Ha!" " Six!" " Ha!" " Seven!" " Ha!" " Eight!" " Ha!" " Nine!" " Ha!" " Go!" " Ha!"

"Keep training as hard as you did in blue and you'll be taking my job some day." "Okay, ready." "Feet together." "Bow." "Osu." "Let's give Michael a hand, guys..." "I'm so proud of you!" "You know, we did all right with this one." "Yeah, we did." "Open the door." "Open the fuckin' door!" "Michael, honey, get down." "Get down." "Okay stay in the car." "Stay in the car." "Open the fuckin' door!" "Open the fuckin' door!" "Hey!" "Phil!" "Move it!" "Okay, okay." "Hey listen bitch I'll blow your fuckin' head off." "Please, please, don't hurt us, okay." "I have money in my wallet." "Tell this bitch to unlock the door!" "Unlock it!" "No!" "No!" "What did you do, man?" "What the fuck did you do?" "Take her out." "Kill her right now!" "Take her out!" "Fuck that!" "I didn't sign up for this." "Get off me!" "Please don't kill me." "Don't look at me." "Don't look at me." "Please, I don't want to die." "Shut the fuck up!" "Hold on!" "Where the fuck you been?" "7 YEARS LATER" "Michael!" "Go after him." "There he is." "There he is!" "Morris." "Len." "There was a disturbance call." "House party." "The ring leader here gave us some flak." "A couple of the kids say that the booze came from him." "I don't know what to say." "He's just lucky he didn't get picked up by one of the other patrols." "Morris, I'm doing all I can." "I know it hasn't been easy for him, but I can't keep getting him off the hook." "He gets picked up again..." "I'm gonna have to go through the system." "You've done more than enough, Len." "And I appreciate it." "You have yourself a good night." "I don't even know why I show up to school, man." "It's a waste of my time." "Guess who got some after the party on Saturday." "Dude, jerking off a doesn't count, man." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Remember that chick?" "No way." "Way, dude." "She got separated from her friends and she needed a ride home." "You don't even have a car." "I know, right?" "We wandered around forever trying to find it." "Dude, smell my finger." "Oh, you're sick, man." "Dude, brother's gotta eat, right?" "Michael Shaw, please come to the office." "Shit!" "Again?" "Hey, I'm sorry, dude." "I gotta go." "Let's go, guys." "Woo!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh, sorry, dude." "Principal Vanhorne is ready to see you now." "Ah, Mr. Shaw." "Join us, please." "I can understand your frustration." "I mean, it must be very difficult having all your friends in college and you're still here." "But that falls on you." "Your grandfather and I are very concerned about your extracurricular activities." "Well, you don't need to be." "Really?" "Yeah." "What'd you do this weekend?" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Drink it!" "Drink it!" "Drink it!" "According to this, you're barely passing and you haven't even started your community service hours." "You can't take a third victory lap, son." "Your grandfather and I have a possible solution." "Your father's old friend, Reggie, runs that Doji..." "Dojo." "He's agreed to let you do your community service hours there." "You'll go there every day after school, starting tomorrow." "Keep up a passing grade average and you could walk outta here having earned a diploma." "You have an opportunity here, Michael." "And we are willing to help you." "But only if you're willing to help yourself." "No shoes on the floor." "Michael, right?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "You look like him." "This is the main Dojo floor." "The only time you'll be on it is when you're cleaning it." "Mirrors need to be wiped down every night." "You're not a narcissist, are ya?" "No." "And right here, that's the master." "He looks over the place." "Your arsenal." "What'd you expect, wax on, wax off?" "The kids have a hard time hitting the bowl." "So you'll probably spend a lot of time in here." "Hey." "Where're you going?" "Home." "So I'm your janitor?" "Look, kid, I'm doing you a favor." "Oh, uh, I almost forgot." "You might need those to lock up." "You actually trust me?" "What's there to steal, the mirrors?" "He's watchin'." "This is bullshit." "Tough guy, are ya?" "Come here." "He isn't really our chi..." "So, how was it?" "Great." "Oh!" "Oh, man." "I've asked you all to re-read pages 62 to 65 because your test scores were very low." "So we are going to review this information." "Come on, people." "It's on the board." "Come on, people, it's on the board." "Michael?" "HCN?" "Yes." "Higher." "That a girl." "That's great." "Higher... that a girl." "Hai!" "Hai!" "Hai!" "Hey, make sure when you punch you gotta take it out, okay?" "Okay." "Up here." "You don't wanna get it caught 'cause otherwise you're gonna break it." "You don't wanna break it, right?" "No." "Let's try it." "Here." "Hit it." "Hi." "Hey." "How are you?" "Good." "Nice to see you." "How's school going?" "Good job." "Bye." "Good bye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "See you tomorrow." "Bye." "Bye." "Thank you." "Bye." "You work well with kids." "Looks like you remember a thing or two." "That was a long time ago." "I'll tell you what." "You divide your time between keeping this place spotless and helping me with the kids... and let's see if we can get you back into a gi." "Look, I'm just here to finish my hours, okay?" "Yeah, I can see that." "This isn't..." "it's not me anymore." "Well, when it is you, I'll see you on the floor." "Oh, and don't even think about it." "She's my niece." "Get changed." "Gotta earn it." "You look good." "How does it feel?" "Feels pretty good." "Let's see your front stance." "Needs a little work." "Again?" "Better." "All right." "Shoulders back." "Chest out." "Chin up." "Okay, let's see a front punch." "Okay, this... chamber hand, always even with the belt." "All right?" "Again." "Good." "Breathe." "You're not breathing." "Breathe." "Go!" "Louder." "From your gut." "Never mind how it sounds, it's gonna protect you, all right?" "Again." "Ya!" "There you go." "Again." "Ya!" "Good." "Keep working on it." "Not bad." "I didn't think anybody was watching." "You can just pretend I'm not." "You'll get in trouble." "I'm Jen." "Michael." "You're Reggie's niece, right?" "Yeah." "Is he around?" "Nah, he just took off." "Thanks." "Is there something I can help you with?" "I don't think so." "Wait, you came all the way here for nothing?" "How do you know I don't live across the street?" "A girl like you?" "Oh, smooth." "Does that normally work?" "So is this what you're gonna be doing all night?" "You mean, standing in front of a mirror making an ass out of myself?" "Yeah." "Pretty much." "Get changed." "I wanna show you something." "Do me a favor?" "Don't tell my uncle I brought you here." "He's old school." "Okay." "Hey!" "Hi!" "Ladies, this is Michael." "Michael, how are you?" "He's a janitor." "Come on." "Three hours!" "?" "Come on!" "Jesus." "What is this place?" "You'll see." "Who's that guy?" "Come on!" "You'll get your turn." "That was our turn!" "We'll meet you guys inside." "Guess we're takin' two." "Fighting?" "Yeah." "Awesome, right?" "Hey!" "Oh my God, who's winning so far?" "This is insane." "Woo!" "Yo!" "How crazy was that fight, y'all?" "What's up?" "All right, y'all!" "All right, yo!" "All right, check this out." "Yo, this next match is balls to the wall." "No holds barred." "This... yo, this is what you are all here for." " What?" " He's crazy!" "First, we got Nick Maynard!" "This guy's huge." "And his opponent..." "Dominic muthafuckin' Gray!" "Yeah!" "He is the sickest fighter." "Oh my God." "Go to your corner." "Stop!" "No!" "No!" "Nooo!" "I know you ready." "Let's do this, baby!" "Hey, what's up?" "You okay?" "Michael?" "Get off!" "Yeah!" "Oh, shit!" "Dominic Gray!" "Hey." "I wanna report a crime." "I mean, I have some information about a crime." "Okay, sir." "Can you tell me exactly what happened?" "It was..." "it was a carjacking." "But there was a murder involved." "And where was this?" "Well, it was..." "it was a long time ago." "I don't really remember." "Why are you only coming forward with this now?" "No." "No." "Because... because I got new information, okay?" "Do you... do you have a case number or a reference?" "The victims were my parents." "It was a carjacking." "And I saw the guy tonight!" "Okay?" "And I need one of you guys to go down there and arrest this guy right fucking now!" "As you know, we can't just go out there and arrest him." "Okay?" "We need a warrant for that." "Now, if you'd just calm down for a minute and properly explain the situation..." "Sir?" "Sir?" "You, uh, forgetting something?" "When you step into this Dojo you leave everything else outside." "The only thing you bring in here is your concentration." "Where are you right now?" "Leaving." "Forty, sixty, eighty, hundred..." "Oh, man, I'm losing count, man." "I need a bigger drawer, Big D. Woo!" "Man, we made a killing last night, yo." "Hey, boss." "It's all right, man." "Somethin' I can do for you?" "I wanna fight." "And you are?" "Michael Shaw." "And I care, why?" "Cause I have an interest in one of your fighters." "Look, a fan." "Oh..." "I don't have time for this, man." "Hey!" "Hey, man, I'm serious." "I wanna fight." "It's cool, man." "Okay, Michael Shaw, let's start with this." "Where do you train?" "What's your record?" "That's what I thought." "Man I'll fight anybody, okay?" "Listen, pretty boy, I'm pretty sure you got all kind of reasons why you wanna become a fighter, man." "But if I let every kid who walked up in that office a shot in the cage, man, I'd be on a street corner somewhere begging for change from people like you." "And I know you ain't got none." "Yeah, but you don't understand..." "Look, kid!" "It's brave of ya, but the answer is simply no." "I'll tell you what, though, since you did take the trouble of comin' all the way down here, man, here's two tickets to tonight's fight." "It's gonna be a good one." "Bring one of your girlfriends or somethin'." "Okay." "See you at my place." "Yo!" "What're ya doin'?" "You snooping' around here or somethin'?" "I asked you a question, kid." "Yo, get Dom out here." "The kid was snoopin' around out back." "Look at me, kid." "You know you're trespassing, right?" "Do you know what that means?" "Do you?" "Agh!" "Do you wanna know something funny?" "I can cut your eye out right here, right now and nobody would think twice." "I can kill you and nobody would care." "Remember that." "Get the fuck off my property." "Stupid ass." "I said keep it moving!" "Here." "This is the address of the man that I saw kill my parents." "And there's my number." "Give me a call when someone decides to do their job around here." "Michael!" "Hey!" "What did he want?" "Ah, it's his second time in here." "The kid's all over the place." "Wants us to go pick up some guy on a seven-year-old murder charge." "Here, he gave me this." "Hey." "Look, I know I lost my cool the other day and I shouldn't have." "This place means a lot to me." "I want to help you..." "I wanna help the kids." "And I want to keep on training, you know, provided that's okay with you." "Okay." "That's it?" "Look, I said I'm sorry." "I thought this place was supposed to be about honor and respect." "Hit this." "What?" "Hit this." "Deep breath, focus and strike." "Hah!" "The Makiwara defines the essence of Karate." "Your punch can bounce off, just as easily as it can puncture." "The only thing that factors into it is you... your mind, your focus and your form." "You wanna get angry, you wanna hit somethin', hit this." "Four o'clock, every day." "Same as before." "Keep at it." "Osu, stand, yoi." "All right, jumping jacks, ten fast." "Go!" "Hand here, punching." "Here we go." "Ready?" "And..." "Good job, guys, one, two..." "As fast as you can." "Five... six..." "Hi, Jen." "Oh, how you doin'?" "Good." "Here we go!" "Ah!" "No!" "No no no no no!" "Ah!" "One, two, three yeah!" "Good job..." "He he he." "Good job..." "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "And it's on!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!" "Oh!" "Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for another crazy one!" "Right now we got my man, Bullet inside the cage." "My dude is quick, yo!" "His opponent, the undefeated Dominic Gray!" "Go to your corner." "Woo!" "I know my man got some speed on him, but I'll tell you, I don't know how he's gonna get himself outta this one." "I hope he can..." "Dominic Gray is a bad, bad man, y'all." "Y'all know how we judge it." "Y'all ready for this one or what?" "Yeah!" "Haha!" "You ready?" "Excuse me." "All right let's do this." "This gonna be crazy 'cause you know it always is!" "Get ready to fight, baby!" "Come on!" "Here we go!" "Woo, y'all!" "Off him!" "Okay, okay." "Come on, come on." "Dominic Gray, people, 13 and 0." "It's for this reason, and out of popular demand, that your kind promoter and our sponsors have decided to host a tournament starting May 15th." "We want the best fighters inside this cage." "No weight class." "And the awarded prize... $50,000 cash!" "Hey, and to get it, fight your way through to this muthafucker and try knocking' him out!" "Dominic Gray, y'all!" "Undefeated!" "Haha!" "Yeah, man, I was just tellin' Big D, man, this is gonna be our wildest one yet, man." "Oh, it's gonna be crazy." "Dom can't wait." "He's just ready to kill muthafuckers, man." "You shoulda seen him tonight, man... ten seconds." "I don't even think it was ten seconds." "Y'all, it's gonna be off the hook, man." "It's the best tournament..." "I'll call you back, man." "I gotta call ya back." "It's alright." "Cool, man." "It's cool." "I gotta call you back." "Jesus Christ, man, you again?" "Didn't I comp you already?" "I wanna fight in the tournament." "Yeah, let me guess." "You hear five sexy numbers and all of a sudden you're seeing a nice little hatchback and an affordable girlfriend, right?" "It's not about the money." "I just wanna fight." "Look, I appreciate your dedication here, man, but the shit's wearing thin." "It's not cute no more, man." "Now get outta my office." "I don't think you're listening." "Apparently, neither are you." "Oh, shit!" "All right." "Ha!" "Cool." "But I can't throw you in just like that, man." "You need some crowd time and at least one win." "You gotta be likeable." "Okay, I got one fighter who just backed out last minute on one of the other circuits." "Street match." "Amateur hour." "Fine." "When is it?" "Tomorrow night." "Don't make me regret this, kid." "Get your ass up, man." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey, um, thanks for meeting' up." "I was kind of a dick before." "I figured, uhm... maybe I was too forward and scared you off." "No." "Not at all." "Really?" "Yeah." "It's uhm- It's refreshing." "Oh, interesting." "So, you're a part-time janitor." "Part-time Karate instructor and full time?" "I'm a student." "What school do you go to?" "Crescent Valley." "Isn't that a?" "He, Yeah." "You're not, like, fifteen, are you?" "No." "Oh, right on." "So you're just a perfectionist with your grades." "So are you ever going to move out of your parents' basement or are you gonna be that guy that stays there 'til he's 30?" "Uh, my parents died when I was 12." "So I... live with my grandfather." "Shit, I'm..." "I'm sorry." "So, looks like you got me all figured out." "How about you?" "I grew up out west." "I came here a few years ago just to visit my uncle and kind of fell in love with the city." "So I took a year off after high school and applied for some programs here in criminology." "And soon as I got in I was on the first plane out." "So you're gonna catch the bad guys, huh?" "Oh, you know, I do live in the student ghetto so I am looking to catch the perp who stole my bike in freshman year and subjecting him to the full power of the criminal justice system." "Your parents must be proud." "Mmm." "Yeah." "Reg is even prouder." "You know, he can be pretty over-protective." "So I think he likes the fact that I'll be able to stand up for myself." "Nice." "So I got this thing tonight." "I got a fight." "You?" "Yeah." "Like a fight fight?" "Yeah, like a fight fight." "Oh, I didn't even know you were into that kind of thing." "ls there a lot of money on it?" "It's not really about the money." "Does my uncle know?" "Keep your secret?" "You keep mine?" "Okay." "Reggie's Karate." "Leave a message." "Hey, Reg, it's Michael." "Uh, I'm not gonna be able to make it in today, man." "I'm..." "I think I'm coming down with somethin'." "I'll see ya, Monday." "Sorry." "Come on, man!" "Gotta keep out of his zone, brotha, he's too fast for you!" "Oh, shit, you just got head butted oh, oh!" "And another one." "Kid!" "Yo, come on, man, you're next." "You better than that." "The hell is this for?" "Dawg, the only thing you're gonna need are your fists and a heavy sack..." "Come on!" "It's over." "It is over!" "...and a fucking prayer." "All right, all right!" "Bring it in!" "Ha ha." "Give it up!" "Give it up!" "Ha ha!" "Squaring off against Jimmy D..." "Come on, give it up!" "Haha!" "Michael Shaw." "Ha ha." "All right, check it, check it." "No biting, no groin shots, no eye gouges." "You can't get up, you lose." "You tap, you lose." "You ready?" "Ready?" "Let's do this." "Yeah, Jimmy." "Knock this kid the fuck out." "I got things to do." "Oh!" "Send this kid home, man!" "Haha!" "Oh... sorry, Mike!" "Oh, don't kill him, Jimmy!" "Stay down man." "Oh!" "We got some moves!" "Come on, Jimmy." "Oooh..." "Give it up for the kid, Michael Shaw!" "Yo!" "That was fuckin' incredible, kid!" "So am I in or not?" "Yeah, you're in." "Ya got six weeks." "Phew!" "Hello." "Hey." "Did you win?" "Yeah, but my hand's gonna look like a watermelon tomorrow." "Look, I don't want to overstep my bounds or anything, but..." "I know what happened to your parents..." "The carjacking..." "And how they never found the guy." "Michael, why do you really want to fight in this thing?" "You didn't see it, did you?" "The way they looked at him..." "they think maybe he's some hero." "They don't even know." "It was him, wasn't it?" "Look, I gotta get on a better sleeping schedule." "Yeah." "Yeah, of course." "I'll let you go." "How about dinner, though?" "Yeah." "Dinner's good." "Good night." "What are you doing here?" "Just thought I'd come a little bit early." "You think I'm gonna let you teach the kids looking like that?" "I had an accident." "Honor." "Respect." "That's what this is all about, right?" "Well, I thought forgiveness was a part of it, too." "Not if you take advantage of it." "What are you really training for, Michael?" "If you wanna dance around in a cage and hurt people for money, you're in the wrong place." "Yeah, well, you know what?" "These... these mind games, all this bowing and shit, nobody wants to see this stuff anymore, man." "Then what are you still doing here?" "You could've walked away any time." "You're here because you made the wrong choices and you chose to stay because you're looking for something more." "You're right." "You know what?" "I can leave whenever I want." "Then go right ahead." "You finished your hours weeks ago." "I'm not training you so you can go out and fight in some circus." "You understand me?" "Yeah, well, it's too late for that." "Then, get out, Michael." "Your choice." "Fine." "Hey." "What?" "Uncle Reg?" "Why don't you just tell him?" "Tell him what?" "Why you're fighting." "Just tell him the truth." "I know he can be a hard-ass but at least he'd understand." "You know I'm right." "Why do you care so much anyways?" "Mr. Shaw." "Come in." "Come in." "You're a very difficult man to find these days." "I've been reviewing your, uh, your grades, as of recent." "You could use some improvement in some areas." "But they are exemplary in comparison to last semester's." "And, as promised- here's your letter of recommendation." "And a few suggestions for some schools that would be good for you to look at." "Applications go out this month." "If there's anything there that you want me to change, just let me know." "My G.P.A?" "I wish I could." "Best of luck." "Thank you." "Michael, this is fantastic." "Yeah." "And I was wondering if you could help me out with something." "You know, Len Riley paid me a visit a few days ago." "Oh, yeah?" "Looks like he's reopening the case." "You know anything about that?" "Hit that board any harder and the other wrist is gonna burst." "What are you doing here?" "Came to see how you were." "And where you've gone with my dinner plans." "I'm sorry, I had..." "It's fine." "It's not like I stopped eating." "So your grandfather gave me the grand tour." "Oh, he did?" "Looks like you've got your own place to train now." "How's Reg doing?" "That's why I'm here." "Let's take a walk." "You know, kid, sometimes it helps to let people in." "Instead of coming across like you don't care." "Would it have mattered?" "Probably not." "But at least we could've gone about it in a different way." "Reggie, a man killed my parents... a man that I finally found after seven years, standing within a few feet." "I have my chance at him." "A chance of doing what?" "You gonna kill this guy in front of a couple of hundred people?" "I've thought about it." "Sit down, man." "You know when I was your age..." "I was in the military." "There's a reason those poor bastards don't sleep at night." "Killing a guy lets him off easy." "But letting him live with what he's done... that's torture." "After I got back..." "I started drinking." "Your father's the one who saved my life." "And the whiskey you saw in the drawer..." "Yeah, I saw you lookin'." "It's a reminder." "Test my will." "I haven't taken a sip in fifteen years." "Your father was my friend, Michael." "I think he turned you into a damn good kid." "You want a shot at this guy?" "I can't stop you." "But when you step in there, everything else goes out the window." "It's about survival." "And that's how we're gonna to train you for it." "I'm not doin' this to help you win." "In fact, I don't care if you do." "I just don't want to see you get hurt... especially not by him." "But I thought you said that..." "Shut up..." "before I change my mind." "We start training tomorrow, 6 A.M." "We've only got three weeks." "I can't teach you to be better than these guys, but I do have time to teach you how to beat 'em." "The fighters you're going up against are strong." "They're athletic and they know how to take a punch." "You can't afford to miss." "You need to rely on our speed and distance." "And take as little damage as possible." "The right timing, the right placement, you can end it with a single punch." "Your Karate's there." "But after watching these guys I can tell that won't be enough." "We're gonna mix it up a bit." "This way, when you're in close range you can open up like a son-of-a-bitch." "In the beginning moments of that fight, you need to study him, learn his range." "You'll know what his next move will be." "Harder!" "Double-kick!" "When you step in there, nothing else matters." "Focus on your opponent." "You gotta watch out for the legs." "Okay." "If you can't stand, you can't fight, alright?" "Yeah." "Okay, so watch." "Ready?" "Yeah." "You all right?" "Yeah." "All right." "When these guys get tired they start swinging for the fences." "So I want you, bang, right down the pipe." "Right down the pipe." "All right?" " Yeah." " All right." "Keep your hands up." "All right?" " Keep your hands up." " Okay." "Stop." "All right you know that control I've been teaching you?" "Lose it." "Hey." "Nice." "Now there's these guys I want you to meet." "They'll be able to help you with your ground game." "If you got a fighting chance, it's because of them." "Just try to keep up with them." "Are you Reggie's guy?" "Yeah." "Michael." "Right." "What's up?" "Hey Lyoto." "This is the kid." "You can't be serious." "He's tiny and malnourished." "I know." "It's impossible." "He doesn't stand a chance." "Well, we've seen worse." "Impossible is what we do." "Guess we can try." "You ready?" "Yeah." "All right then." "Let's do it." "All right." "Your first lesson today is the sprawl." "Very, very important." "Okay." "Ooh!" "Okay." "Let me introduce you to my little friend, medicine ball." "Go." "Let's go." "Go!" "Sprawl!" "Go!" "Fast!" "Come on, boy." "This is bad position for you." "You need to change faster." "You need to move your hips." "Like this, and you put your arms inside and... choke." "Yeah." "One more." "Let's go!" "Fast!" "Hai!" "For this kick, you have to bring your knee up like a fake and kick with the other leg." "Like that." "Try it." "No, no." "You need more force." " You need to put your arms in here," "Okay." " And your legs here." " Uh huh." "You have a lot of position here for the choke." "First one, then this." "No, no." "You have to put more force." "You need to keep working more." "Great job." "Dentists love this kick." "Go!" "Kick." "Drop-kick." "Nice." "Good job." "You ready for the real test?" "Okay." "Okay, let's go." "Okay." "Up your hands." "Keep moving." "I like this kick." "Agh!" "I like it." "Good job, buddy." "Love it." "Oof!" "Aw..." "So, I think you might be ready." "Thanks." " Thank you." " Good job." "Well?" "We'll see." "Oh, no, no, no." "Yes." "One second." "One second." "What?" "Shh..." "He's watching." "This place is really falling apart." "Yeah." "It's been pretty tough on Reg." "He can't afford the repairs so he insists on fixing it up himself." "He just works so hard, you know?" "And people don't want Karate anymore." "They want what they see on TV." "It's a shame 'cause I see what my uncle does for these kids... and for you." "How do I look?" "I know you think that you need to do this... and that's fine." "But after tomorrow I really hope that you can make peace with everything that you've been holding onto." "You've earned that." "Shake it off." "Wait here." "I got somethin' for ya." "If I'm not mistaken, your father said that you were just a few months away from earning- this." "Tomorrow is what it all comes down to." "Don't lose your focus." "You're there for one purpose." "Whatever you choose to do... don't forget what they'd expect of you." "Go home, get a good night's sleep." "I'll see you there." "I'm not gonna let you coach yourself, am I?" "Alright y'all, alright, yo!" "Today is the day!" "We got a sweet lineup of fights comin' that are sure not to disappoint." "This is the tournament of all tournaments, baby." "Woo!" "This is gonna be crazy." "This is gonna be live!" "This is gonna be wild!" "Now this is how it works." "Once the preliminaries are outta the way we'll break and reconvene for the final match-up at six o'clock."

"Let's get it on!" "Oh, this is crazy already!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Come over here, guys." "Protect yourselves at all times." "Obey my commands at all times."

"Check it out, y'all!" "We got Michael Shaw!" "Taking on Abraham the Firearm!" "Woo!" "Come over here, guys." "Protect yourself at all times." "Obey my commands at all times." "If you wanna touch gloves, do it now and go back to our corners." "Let's go, guys." "Step back." "Step back." "Hai Karate boy, whatever, man." "I hope that helps you!" "Nice and relaxed, Michael!" "Make sure you keep your hands up!" "Ooh, you gotta watch the Firearm, it might burn!" "Who's got it goin' on, man?" "Don't just stand there, move!" "Michael Shaw, y'all!" "Make some noise!" "Yes!" "I'm telling you, we got some Round Two action for y'all!" "Check this out!" "Straight out of the Adrenaline Gym, my man Stone takin' on Shaw!" "I don't know how he's gonna walk after that." "Don't check the kick, come into it!" "Cover up!" "Cover up!" "You're gonna feel that in the morning, homie!" "Over-powered!" "Where did that come from?" "Agh!" "Look for a triangle!" "There you go!" "That's right!" "Yo, are you seeing this?" "Let it go!" "Oh ho!" "Unbelievable!" "It's all over, baby!" "Michael Shaw does it again!" "Yo, our next fight pits Chino versus Michael Shaw!"

"Go to the body!" "He's got a strong chin!" "Go to the body!" "Wow!" "We got a fight here, ladies and gentlemen!" "Put your weight down on him!" "No that's too much, man." "You ain't gonna get outta that." "He's about to tap!" "I know he's ready to!" "He's got life, y'all!" "You gotta hand it to him!" "Set up your kicks, Michael!" "Yo, you wakin' up tomorrow mornin' with a headache, homey." "Ooh!" "Don't let go!" "Nice, Michael, nice!" "Man, that's the heart of a fighter right here!" "Hey." "Oh!" "I don't know how you pulled it off again, y'all." "Give it up!" "That right there is Michael Shaw!" "Looks like we got ourselves an underdog up in here y'all!" "Can you believe this?" "All right, y'all." "Alright, yo." "We are down to our final fight of the day." "One hour to go." "And the only thing comin' in between Karate Boy here and 50,000 big ones, is this muthafucker." "Get up here, homey!" "Yeah, this is what you've all been waiting for... a new contender to challenge the undefeated reign." "Alright, y'all." "Y'all can grab your snacks, all right, grab some beers." "Hey, make sure y'all tweet about how crazy these fights have been, alright?" "That Karate shit... it ain't workin' on me, kid." "Costume's cute." "But this right here, this right here is the real deal." "Luck got ya through those other guys." "It's gonna take God to get you through me." "I'm gonna destroy you." "Yeah, let's fight!" "What's he gonna say?" "Hey, man, you gotta say somethin'." "When I was twelve years old, I watched my parents die." "A man walked up to our car waving his gun in my father's face." "And he shot him." "My mother was sitting there, just crying, pleading for her life." "But that didn't make a difference." "He shot her too." "He never saw me." "But I saw him." "Remember that." "Well, hey!" "Whatever makes the fight more exciting, right?" "Ha, ha, ha, kid!" "I don't know where that deep shit came from, man, but people are goin' nuts to watch you fight this guy." "Hey, we can all walk away with some serious dough tonight." "I never doubted you, man." "I swear it." "From the moment I met you..." "Will you excuse us?" "No problem." "Do whatcha gotta do, man." "This is it." "How do ya feel?" "Good." "Look at me, man." "I don't care how big this guy is." "I don't care how mean he is." "I don't care about his reputation." "You're gonna beat this guy." "You're gonna do it for them." "Right?" "Right." "Alright." "Look, I don't know what this is about and I don't care." "But if there's even a hint of truth to what that kid is saying, when you hit, you hit to put him down... for good." "You understand what I'm tellin' you?" "Gotcha." "Dominic!" "Dominic!" "Dominic!" "All right, y'all." "This is it." "This is the one you been waiting for, y'all!" "Fifty thousand dollars is on the line!" "The final match-up!" "We got Michael Shaw takin' on your champion, the undefeated Dominic Gray!" "We've got a real David vs. Goliath here tonight, baby!" "Okay." "Gentlemen, come over here, please." "Both of you." "Protect yourselves at all times." "Obey my commands at all times." "If you wanna touch gloves, do it now and go back to your corners." "Okay, step back, guys." "Let's do this." "Stay on your toes, man, and watch your chin." "Are you ready, sir?" "You ready?" "Fight!" "Move, Michael, move!" "Stick and move!" "Stick and move!" "Dumb kid." "You might as well tap it now, man." "Circle away from the power hand!" "For a guy who saw his mother get shot in the face, you hit like a little bitch." "Don't stand in front of this guy, Michael!" "Hang in there!" "Hang in there!" "Agh!" "Get up!" "Get up, Michael!" "Get up!" "Michael, hold him!" "Hold him down!" "Agh!" "Don't do that." "Domenic Gray is a bad man!" "Next time you do that I will disqualify you." "Sit down, Michael." "Breathe." "Deep breaths." "Michael, look at me." "What are ya doin' out there, man." "You fighting' outta anger?" "Where's your technique, huh?" "Where's your technique?" "Everything we worked on in the gym." "Remember that, right?" "Punch and move!" "Punch and move!" "Stay away from him!" "Don't give in to those punches." "Look at me." "You can beat this guy." "All right?" "Okay, gentlemen, seconds out." "All right?" "Relax, stay away from him." "Go guys." "Fight!" "Watch the spacing!" "Hah!" "Atta boy!" "Atta boy!" "Agh!" "Oh!" "Breathe!" "Oh!" "Watch the knees, baby!" "Those things will crack your skull open!" "Ooh!" "Oooh!" "Damn!" "Cover his legs!" "Good!" "Do it again!" "Ah!" "Get his legs!" "Break!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Go back to your corner, sir." "Sit down." "Sit down." "Beautiful, Michael." "Beautiful." "Why the fuck haven't you finished this guy?" "This guy's hurt." "He's tired." "You can beat this guy." "Talk to me, Dominic." "What the fuck is goin' on?" "How's the knee?" "Fuck the knee." "Fuck this kid." "Stay on his legs." "You can beat this guy." "Look at me!" "You're Dominic fuckin' Gray." "Finish this kid right fuckin' now!" "Make him know what it feels like to lose everything." "All right?" "Now go out there and finish him!" "Let's go!" "Seconds out!" "Pit pressure on him." "Use your power." "Use your power." "Made it quick." "Let's go, go, go." "Go, sir."

"Hey, he's locking the cage." "Give me the key." "Get the fuck outta here!" "Hey!" "Back off!" "Michael!" "Michael, what are you doin'?" "What the fuck's he doin'?" "Take your time!" "You see this kid?" "Go to sleep." "Go to sleep." "Don't worry." "You'll be with your mommy and daddy soon." "He ain't gonna wake up." "Yeah, that's it, man." "Grab your right leg, Michael!" "Grab your right leg!" "No way!" "No way!" "Ahhh!" "No way!" "Oh!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Agghh!" "Aaarghhh!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Crazy!" "I adore him!" "Loser!" "Yo!" "We have ourselves a winner, y'all!" "Haha!" "Hey, fifty thousand dollars, y'all!" "Every penny, man." "I'm a man of my word." "It's just like" "I say, If it comes from Lou, you know it's true." "Hey, hey, look, but don't touch, baby." "Yeah, hey, this is all you, kid." "You earned it, man." "It's all you, baby." "For the Dojo." "But, Michael..." "Shut up before I change my mind." "Thank you." "Michael!" "Michael!" "Michael!" "All right, everyone, line up." "Fall in, guys." "Feet together." "Ready?" "One... two... three..." "You think they'd be proud?" "They've always been proud."
