Studio Synopsis: Self-control, courtesy, perseverance, integrity and an indomitable spiritÑthose are the basic tenets preached by the proud but stern Master instructor Fred Simmons (Danny McBride) at the Concord Tae Kwon Do Studio. There Òthe way of the foot and the fist,Ó a.k.a. the definition of the featured Korean martial art, turns boys into black belts and suburbanites into great warriors.
That is, until SimmonsÕ seemingly perfect life starts collapsing when he discovers his wife having an affair on him. Twice. A chance to resurrect his life by battling his heroÑthe 8-time undefeated champ and star of the ÒSeven Rings of PainÓ trilogy, Chuck ÒThe TruckÓ Wallace (Ben Best)Ñgives SimmonsÕ life purpose as he winds up on a wild, comic journey that will take him from egomaniacal bluster all the way to becoming the stand-up man of his delusional dreams.
