Daniel comes to realize that through this labor he has been learning important karate defensive blocks. Daniel’s patience finally wears off and he explodes, accusing Miyagi of turning him into his “goddam slave” and breaking his promise to teach him karate. Don’t forget to breathe, very important.” The labor-intensive projects go on day after day, week after week. Miyagi explains the process of waxing a car as if it were a Zen meditation: “Wax on, right hand. Some of the most famous scenes in the film involve Miyagi’s rather unorthodox way of teaching karate to an eager student - by having his student perform back-breaking, tedious chores around the house like sanding a wooden floor, refinishing a fence, painting a house, and most notably, by waxing cars. The film reveals the deep bond that forms between these two characters - Miyragi starts out as an eccentric loner, becoming a teacher/mentor, surrogate father, and by the end of the film, a cherished and trusted friend. Miyagi’s peaceful, humble demeanor belies his tormented past - the loss of his wife and son at an internment camp, a stint in the army during WWII (where he earns the Medal of Honor for his bravery), and mastery of karate (and fish). Enemy deserve no mercy.The memorable, but often misunderstood phrase, appears in The Karate Kid (1984, the first of a trilogy) written by Robert Mark Kamen about a boy named Daniel, played by Ralph Machhio, who learns karate from an unlikely teacher, a quiet and eccentric apartment handyman, named Mr. Chozen: Apology will not give me back my honor. Daniel: Hey, whatever happened, I apologized. I have been dishonored all because of him. Even if win, you lose.Ĭhozen: Your student disgrace me. Miyagi: Daniel-san, never put passion before principle. (Then there is the drunk, dead wife, ramblings.but you really have to see that to appreciate it.)ĭaniel: You think you could break a log like that? Miyagi: Don't know. ĭaniel: You're the best friend I've ever had. Is that understood? Kreese: But if you don't show, it's open season on him.and you. No one touches the prima donna until the tournament. Kreese: You're a pushy little bastard, ain't ya? But I like that. Now you get your boy on the mat, or you and I will have a major problem. You don't come into my dojo, drop a challenge and leave, old man. Kreese: This is a karate dojo, not a knitting class. Lawrence? Johnny Lawrence: Yes, sensei! Miyagi: No more fighting. Kreese: Is that what's bothering you? The odds? Well, we can fix that. FIVE to one problem, too much ask anyone. Kreese: What's the matter, the boy can't take care of his own problems? Miyagi: One to one problem, yes. Kreese: What are you here for, old man? Miyagi: Come ask leave boy alone. Lawrence a liar? Miyagi: No call no one nothing.
Hai! Kreese: I hear you jumped some of my students last night. Daniel: Don't you know anything you can tell me? Miyagi: Hai. You like?ĭaniel: What's that guy kneeling like that for? Miyagi: Don't know. You karate do "yes," or karate do "no." You karate do "guess so," ĭaniel: Hey, what kind of belt do you have? Miyagi: Canvas. Walk down middle, sooner or later, get squished just like grape. Daniel: How did you do that? How did you do that? Miyagi: Don't know. Miyagi: Why kidding? Daniel: Because I'd get killed if I go down there. Daniel: Hey, I was just kidding about that. Miyagi: Now use head for something other than target. I'll just go down to the school and straighten it out with the teacher, no problem.
Daniel: Oh, great, that solves everything for me. No such thing a bad student, only bad teacher. Daniel: That's not what these guys are taught. Miyagi: Hai, because boys have bad attitude. Daniel: No the problem is, I'm getting my ass kicked every other day, that's the problem.
Miyagi: Your friend, all karate student, eh? Daniel: Friend? Oh, yeah, those guys. Here are his best moments of wisdom from the two good Karate Kid movies: (Help from ) Due to the passing of Actor Pat Morita your Uncle Buck had to take a moment to honor him in his greatest roll, that of Mr.
