Plot
[edit]When Jane Jones, a beautiful but troubled American backpacking her way through Hong Kong, successfully fends off three thugs trying to rob her, it draws the attention of Shu, a female fighting champion. Shu recruits and trains Jane to fight in the vicious, all-female underground martial arts tournament known as The Kumite. After months of rigorous training, Jane is ready to face off against her killer rivals, including the apprentice of Shu’s nemesis, a Shaolin master. As other nefarious forces emerge from the shadows, Jane’s journey through The Kumite turns deadly as she risks everything to become the best female fighter in the world.
