Enslaved teen martial artist Bensin is just one victory away from freedom—or one mistake away from disaster. But when a bitter rival frames him for a crime he didn’t commit, his fate is sealed with ruthless efficiency: a lifetime as a gladiator, forced to fight and bleed to entertain a bloodthirsty audience. Every day pushes Bensin to his limits as he struggles to survive in an environment designed to break him.

My childhood had been cool enough. Horses and four-wheelers to ride, farmland to explore, good friends. The one blemish: a school bus bully. A year older and always bigger, this guy we'll call "Larry" started picking on me around kindergarten - flipping my ear, frogging my leg, reminding me how much of a wimp I was - and I let him get away with it. With literally hundreds of chances (every miserable ride to and from school), I never fought back. And while I’d done a stint in the military, earned a fancy degree, and started a family, I was always haunted by the lingering shame.

The Wrong Side of 35 is an exploration of that idea, not from the perspective of a world champion, the head of a global affiliate, or by a team of celebrity athletes... but rather from the lens of a regular guy from a small town, an aging hobbyist who wanted to answer for himself just what he had learned over the course of his grappling career, what it was for, and what it all meant.
