A self-important, not-so-skilled taekwondo instructor tries to keep his dojo running while his marriage unravels and his ego spirals.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like cringe-heavy, dark indie comedies about delusional blowhards and can handle lots of profanity; Not for you if you want likable characters or broad laughs like Eastbound & Down.
Pros: awkward dark humor; martial arts moments; quotable satire | Cons: heavy profanity; mean-spirited bullying; repetitive one-note lead
