  I don't mention this early on but I try to use all of the moves I learn in sparring at the end. Thanks for watching!

  I always figured Miyagi taught Daniel this way specifically because Daniel wanted to learn karate after getting into a few fights. It's completely normal to want to learn to defend yourself, but it's also easy to want vengeance after being attacked. Miyagi teaches Daniel the motions, but more importantly, he gives Daniel a safe space to process his thoughts and emotions after moving to a new place, being without his father, and struggling to make friends. Regulating your breathing is important for exercise, but it's also really important for mental clarity. Chores may not be the best way to learn to defeat opponents but they do create a well rounded individual who can balance the various aspects of their life with their martial arts. This is in direct opposition to the Cobra Kai style that is much more efficient in teaching technique but lacks empathy, sportsmanship, or general mindfulness.

  Man, I'm still waiting for the day Seth trains like the Avatar. I can imagine him picking a technique from each Kung Fu style used in each bending art and then use them in sparring. Would be so sick.

  It's so nice of Seth's wife to let him do chores and finally teach him karate

  Wow, Seth looks good for a 50 year old, I had no idea he saw the Karate kid in theaters.

  Gotta admire Seth. That waxing bit came into his head and he wrote it down. I'm sure he passed it through his wife. He drove to the location where his cameraman filmed him walking in and out. He then watched the video while editing, and again before posting. At every turn, you know he thought to himself "this bit is hella stupid..." and at no point did he decide to take it out. The video is almost 20 minutes long, it's not even like he needed to pad it.

  The day after the Karate Kid <i>first appeared on TV,</i> my instructor told us to get into combat stance, and a bunch of us all got into that crane pose with one leg and both arms held high. <br>The class lost it ......

  As a fly I can confirm we have all seen Karate Kid. This movie was panned by our critics as picking us with chopsticks is generally seen as a dick move in fly culture
