The Martial Arts Kid

Robbie Oakes is a Cleveland high schooler who after losing his mother, finds himself constantly in trouble with the law.

When his grandmother has had enough after his latest arrest, Robbie is sent to Cocoa Beach, Florida to live with his aunt Cindy and uncle Glen.

The next day at school, Robbie finds himself again harassed and embarrassed by Bo, who pushes him into the girls' restroom.

The police arrive and Robbie, in a state of shock, asks Cindy where she learned martial arts.

There, he meets Coach Laurent Kaine, who unlike Glen believes that martial arts are for winning and destroying opponents.

At a Halloween party, Robbie finally admits his feelings for Rina, who has been stood up by Bo so he can go off with his friends.

The next day at the Space Coast Dojo, Rina finally reciprocates her feelings towards Robbie and the two become a couple, much to the chagrin of Bo.

At a local pizza parlor, someone makes a viral video of Robbie fighting more of the Dojo Extreme team and it is uploaded for everyone to see.

The man watching them from afar is Frank Whitlaw, Bo's father, who vows to get even with the Space Coast Dojo.

They include Olando Rivera, Christine Bannon-Rodrigues, Jeff W. Smith, Glenn C. Wilson, Carl Van Meter, and Dewey Cooper.

After multiple screenings all over the United States, the DVD and Blu-Ray were released via the film's official website on April 14, 2016.

Storm, Matthew Ziff, Brandon Tyler Russell, and Chuck Zito are returning and new cast members announced include Sasha Mitchell, Anita Clay, Benny Urquidez, and Bill "Superfoot" Wallace.
