The movie starts when Dre, in high school, gets bullied by a boy named Cheng. Dre loses morale and respect as Cheng is good at karate. An unusual fight between the two occurs when Mr Han, the maintenance man who has been a martial artist, comes to Dre's rescue and saves him from Cheng and his friends. 

Later, Mr Han takes Dre to the martial art classes to sort things out between Dre and Cheng. However, Cheng's master refuses and asks for a fight instead. With pure intentions of saving the child, he agrees and tells them to conduct the fight in the upcoming tournament.
