Life After Fighting 2024

Life After Fighting is a 2024 Australian indie action-thriller film that serves as the feature-length writing and directorial debut of Australian martial artist and actor Bren Foster, who also stars in the lead role. The film centers on Alex Faulkner (Foster), a handsome and talented retired MMA world champion who now runs a peaceful martial arts school, teaching Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and other disciplines to the community. Alex is trying to escape a past marked by a championship fight he controversially lost before retiring, complicated by an emerging romance with single mother Samantha Hathaway (Cassie Howarth), whose son is a student. This new relationship draws the ire of Samantha's bitter and abusive ex-husband, Victor Dimov (Luke Ford). The tranquil life Alex has built is shattered when two young girls, one of whom is the daughter of his cousin and employee Julie (Annabelle Stephenson), are kidnapped from the school's parking lot. The abduction is quickly linked to Victor and a brutal international child trafficking operation, forcing Alex to use his formidable fighting skills to confront the traffickers in a desperate effort to rescue the children. The final act is an intense, non-stop martial arts showdown as Alex single-handedly turns his school into a battleground to protect those he loves. The movie, which had a limited US release on June 7, 2024, is praised for its bone-crunching, high-quality fight choreography, especially in the climactic sequence. Read More
