    The Karate Kid is a great movie. It’s the story of a hopeful, young karate enthusiast whose dreams and moxie take him all the way to the All Valley Karate Championship. Of course, sadly, he loses in the final round to that nerd kid. But, he learns an important lesson about gracefully accepting defeat.

    Thanks, Barney :wink:

    Just curious - do you folks mentally or verbally pronounce karate as kar-AH-tea or ka-rah-TAY?

    Tea not Tay. Saying Tay makes one sound like a douch-ay.

    Ka ra Tay? Miyagi says it that way.. Slave driving drunk midget stuck in the past

    Did Daniel really learn anything from painting the house? I mean, he was doing it all wrong and Miyagi was gone fishing all day.

    I don't recall a single defense strategy that he learned doing house chores being used in the tournament..

    Please, are you new here?

    The first rule to all styles of martial arts is you must learn patience and control. If cannot master these you are just a poser.
    So yes he had him do a lot of useless shit but the little whiney shit was learning at the same time. Besides child labour is where it's at. Isn't why people have them?

    I don't actually recall him "learning" any offense what so ever.. He should have gotten the ever loving shit beat out of him in the first round.. You can't just learn karate in a few weeks and win a tournament.. No way, no how.. The fat guy that just threw a bunch of aimless punches could have handed his ass to him

    Daniel should have been disqualified for that crane kick. Illegal move according to USANFK Sport Karate Rules.

    But was it illegal in 1984, that is the real question.

    And theft. They stole the black belt from the guy when they were registering. Teaching kids to steal and lie to fake their way through things. :nuh_uh:

    What kind of gutter whore spells Ally with an I

    Did I miss anyone mocking the idea that Arnold rubbing his hands together quickly makes him into Benny Hinn?

    How about that Daniel was fucking 23 when that movie came out? Pretty sure it was illegal when Ally (I refuse to type it in whoreish) went down him in Miyagi's 50s car.

    I don't know, but this must be a sign. Told my buddy about a hour ago that I just took up random karate chopping in public, then I come on here and find this thread. Must have been subconsciously brained washed, cause I watched that movie a lot.

    What do you randomly karate chop in public? This sounds like an interesting hobby.

    Know that you pre-redeemed yourself with the Benny Hinn reference.
