"Sadness not accepted always becomes violence." A martial arts enthusiast, Quebecer Dan Brigas takes us into the world of a group of extreme fighters to discover intense, upright and moving human beings. For them extreme combat is part of the struggle for life, an unending fight that begins in childhood. After working on themselves, these men have found a way to sublimate and transform their destructive rage. In extreme combat, the blows are always heavy but the worst pain is that of everyday life.
