Synopsis
Rule-bound Taekwondo fighter Ihn Kim seeks respect as rule changes may unleash his brutal kicking style.

However, changes are coming in the Taekwondo world that just might give Ihn a fighting chance. Can Ihn beat the people who once mocked him and show everyone that his style of Taekwondo is no joke?
