The film then veers into "Karate Kid" territory where the novice humiliates himself at every turn, is tolerated as a foreigner, and still comes out a champion. The monastery teaches non-violence, but everyone knows that sooner or later the student will catch up with the bad guy.

ANGLE ON DREW AND D.S.
DREW:
Let's do it.
D.S.
Attack me straight on... Drew attacks, and is taken down brutally, smashed into the hard concrete floor. No attempt is made to cushion or soften the blow.
Drew gets up right away, and attacks again. Again he is driven to the ground. This continues from all angles and all methods of attack.
ANGLE ON THE GROUP Who can barely watch the destruction.
ANGLE ON THE FIGHT The D.S. does not let up at all, taking Drew down hard each time. Every time, regardless of the impact, Drew gets right back up. His eyes are dazed, there is a little blood coming out of his nose, but he keeps coming back for more.
Finally, after a high arcing back throw, a real thumper, the worst of all of them, the D.S. calls it a day.
D.S.
Any questions? Good, that's all for today.
Before anyone can move, however, Drew raises his hand as high as he can, obviously in pain.
DREW (CONT'D) I'm not sure I got that last throw clear in my mind.
The group gasps, knowing how much Drew must be hurting, admiring him for his guts. Even Gao is impressed.
D.S.
I said that's enough.
DREW (CONT'D) If you're getting too old for this kind of training, I understand.
D.S.
Attack!
Drew attacks, and the D.S. executes the manuever perfectly, crashing Drew down almost on his head. Luckily, Drew is able to twist at the last moment and take the impact on his already bruised shoulder. He moans and groans and lies there.
DREW (CONT'D) I think I've got it now. Xie Xie!
The group disburses, shaking their heads in wonder. Li comes up to Drew, who is still lying on the ground.
LI:
Are you trying to kill yourself?
DREW:
He hurts more than me, he's just not bleeding, that's all.
He tries to get up, but moans in pain and falls back down.
Li helps him up and takes him to the showers.
