A trope where the hero goes after a gang of criminals or evildoers for the first time, and ends up getting severely beaten up due to their inexperience. Like Hank's first time as the Golden Man of Bravery in The Shadow Hero, where he tries to save who he perceives to be a helpless, innocent woman from a gang of thugs, but ends up getting stomped and has to be rescued by the woman he thought he was saving.
