Taking the First Swing

Drawn into the world of women’s self-defense by his enigmatic friend Tara, Nick finds himself stepping into the ring as a padded assailant in a class filled with determined women.

Initially hesitant and out of his comfort zone, Nick gradually embraces the challenge. With each strike and evasion, he sheds his inhibitions and unearths a hidden strength within. The women in the class, initially wary of this anomaly in their midst, begin to see Nick not as an outsider, but as a valuable training partner.
