    Questionable methods
    Well-made film from a documentary film making standpoint. However, it seems like that both the director and the main protagonist himself failed to understand that his methods of "teaching" kids the art of MMA are pedagogically wrong, counterproductive and in many ways atypical of what you can usually see in most MMA clubs. Especially when it comes to teaching kids.

    The main character might have good intentions, but motivating these kids with aggression, yelling, bulling, and mind gaming is not the way to keep them "on the right path".
