In a world where violence and insecurity seem to be lurking, a shy and reserved man decides that it's time to take control of his life. After being assaulted in broad daylight, he feels powerless and determined not to let that episode define his existence. So, in an act of bravery, he enrolls in a martial arts school run by a charismatic yet strict instructor who will not only teach him to defend himself but will also immerse him in a world of discipline and codes of honor.
As he progresses in his training, our protagonist begins to transform both physically and emotionally. The confidence and strength he gains allow him to confront his deepest fears and challenge those who once belittled him. However, this new life comes with moral dilemmas and tensions, as the line between self-defense and aggression becomes blurred.
With a tone that mixes comedy and social critique, the story explores the search for identity in an oppressive environment, as well as the thin line that separates power from abuse. With unexpected twists and endearing characters, this work invites us to reflect on the nature of courage and the true essence of the art of self-defense in a world that often seems more hostile than protective.
