But we learn very little about the fighter\u2019s life when he\u2019s not wearing gloves. Following its world premiere at Busan, where it shared the Kim Ji-seok Award with Aparna Sen\u2019s \u201cThe Rapist\u201d, and its November screening in Tokyo, \u201cGensan Punch\u201d will launch online as an HBO Asia Original.<\/p>\n<p>With his chiseled features and steely gaze, handsome model-turned-action star Shogen (\u201cStreet Fighter: Assassin\u2019s Fist\u201d) certainly looks the part as Nao, a boxer from Okinawa who has been wearing a prosthetic leg since a childhood accident. His skill is undeniable, but according to Japanese officials, he fails \u201cphysical condition regulations\u201d and is not permitted to fight professionally.<\/p>\n<p>With his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ealing combination of politeness and quiet determination Nao nods in acceptance and boards the next flight to Mindanao. His destination is the Gensan Punch gym in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Santos City, a rough-and-tumble place that has produced champions including slugger-turned politician Manny \u201cPacMan\u201d Pacquaio.<\/p>\n<p>From the outside, Gensan Punch gym looks like a death-match auditorium from a post-nuke action thriller. On the inside, it\u2019s a different story. Nice-guy owner Ben (Jun Nayra), his wife Mina (Evangeline Torcino) and their daughter Melissa (Beauty Gonzalez) run the place like a boarding house for well-mannered young men who want to better themselves as they hone their fighting skills. Nao\u2019s prosthetic limb doesn\u2019t bother anyone at Gensan Punch and makes no difference to local boxing officials. As long as Nao can win three fights in a row, he\u2019ll earn professional status.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of the film is Nao\u2019s relationship with veteran trainer Rudy (Ronnie Lazaro), a scrappy-looking dude whose worn-out shoes are practically falling off his feet. But like everyone else at Gensan Punch, Rudy has a huge boxing heart and becomes Nao\u2019s father figure. With most of the running time dedicated to training, mentoring and fighting, there\u2019s little room for anything else. A couple of flashbacks to Nao\u2019s childhood with his single mother (Kaho Minami) don\u2019t add much. A brief sequence in which Nao seems to be making some sort of connection with Melissa has a very uncomfortable feel and would probably have best been left on the cutting room floor.<\/p>\n<p>But the main <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> here is overcoming adversity and staying true to yourself through boxing. For Nao, that means a bad bust-up with Rudy after discovering his trainer has fixed a fight that will guarantee the license. Rudy\u2019s heart might be in the right place \u2014 he\u2019s just witnessed the death of young Gensan Punch student Bon Jovi (Vince Rillon) in the ring and is concerned for Nao\u2019s safety \u2014 but the quietly spoken Nao is in no mind to corrupt his personal code of honor.<\/p>\n<p>Mendoza\u2019s fluid camera brings viewers into the ring and creates an intimate, documentary-like portrait of this tight-knit community of fighters, trainers and support staff. Footage of contests is vivid but never strays into \u201cRaging Bull\u201d-like territory of smashed faces and rivers of blood that often turn off non-boxing movie fans. A gentle, discreetly applied score by top Filipino composer Diwa de Leon serves as a soothing counterpoint to the bruising action.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
