On the Ropes (2011)
On The Ropes follows the story of fictional Martial Arts instructor, Keith Kraft (Mark Noyce) and his rivalry with boxing gym owner Big Joe (Joe Egan).

When a local documentary maker is invited to cover a news story for regional TV on a "proper fighting gym", run by Big Joe, little does he know how events will unfold; particularly as his attention is drawn to a rival gym with a unique fighting style owned by self-proclaimed karate expert Keith Kraft. On the Ropes is best described as Spinal Tap meets Rocky and is based on the writer's own experiences with gym culture.
