On The Ropes

2011, 94 minutes

Mockumentary about martial arts in the UK

When a local documentary maker is invited to cover a news story for regional TV on a 'proper fighting gym', run by Big Joe, little does he know how events will unfold 'particularly as his attention is drawn to a rival gym with a unique fighting style, owned by self-professed karate expert, Keith Kraft. On the ropes is a mockumentary and best described as Spinal Tap meets Rocky with a little of The Office mixed in for fun, and draws from the writer’s own direct experiences within the gym culture.
