Probably one of my favorite movie series. Just thought I would put this together. Enjoy! I do know own the rights to this content. I put it together as a fan. The material shown is all property of Columbia picture.
Mr Miyagi probably wasn't with someone for a longtime if he was with someone meeting Danial sparked an inner fatherly side of him that he probably wished he could have used on a child of his own but in a way he adopted Daniel as the son he wished he had and never gave up on him even during tough times right up to when Mr Miyagi died and plus also Daniel had a positive father role model for a longtime they both connected so well
Mr Miyagi was a violent man who loved fighting!! You know when he said "I hate fighting." He was lying. Oh yeah, he was a chronic liar too. And I think he was a bed wetter too!!
The first move in any Karate is always defensive, a block. It's meant that way for the symbolism and the meaning of training. Karate is for defense only. So...someone has to throw a punch first to justify USING Karate offensively. Strained Marshall artist is the last person to worry about committing unprovoked offensive assaults on anybody. And basically has a higher level of tolerance for provocation than an untrained emotional used person. Not fighting is then not cowardice but control and courageous. If pushed however, then it's then necessary to use Karate , now still for defense only.

When Miyagi says,"ENOUGH!"Col.Dugan says,"it's not over." Miyagi says,"Then we finish."Miyagi is never afraid to fight when he knows it's the right time.
I mean I’m no expert but I don’t really know how are you supposed to expect a fricking spear sorta thing swinging down at your back when ur not looking
Mr Miyagi definitely proved to be the best father figure for Daniel even during bad times Daniel was lucky to have a great father role model like Mr Miyagi and taught Daniel everything he needed to know on how to survive in life and how to be successful
It was rare but loved it when Mr.Miyagi was forced to fight👍👋 Silver looked savage in training but Miyagi just pushed him around? Hard to believe he was lovable Arnold in Happy Days😁
The're are real masters like Mr Miyagi in Japan. It is incredible what the mind and discipline of Karate can achieve, combined with philosophy of Life.
I love the philosophy karate for knowledge and defense but never attack unless attacked first, and the masters still try to minimize damage while still kicking butt
he pick the most powerful rivals of the series, and absolutely destroyed them EASILY, this man was a monster in his prime (And Sato too, even Miyagi said maybe he couldn't beat Sato in KK2)
Miyagi is like that old legendary martial arts master one speaks of but never sees. He beat a young, hungry Barns. Took on Kreese and Silver. All three back to back with little to no effort. And Chozen, someone familiar with the Miyagi style, was waay out of his league. These are feats that Daniel, Chozen, Barns and Johnny will never achieve as grown masters. Miyagi will remain a Legend to their students.
I overall dislike all the movies except the first two (not due to the actors, but the writers), but I do love in #3 the fight between Miyagi, Kreese, Silver, and young Barnes. Miyagi put Barnes away with just two hard throws. He took a careful stance when he thought he'd be fighting Kreese and Silver together, but then showed his contempt for Kreese by simply standing there looking almost bored. He proceeded to whallop the stuffings out of Kreese in a completely one-sided fight. Then the best part, when he let Silver work hard trying to land a hit while Miyagi used minimal energy just dodging, before putting Silver away. That's what a wise fighter learns to do when they're older and not as powerful, tough, and agile anymore. They get clever, dodge and block to conserve their energy while forcing their opponent to tire themselves out, before taking an opening to clobber them hard and end the fight.
Mr. Miyagi kicked so much ass in these scenes. I bet if he were a Jedi Master, he'd be wise & skilled like Yoda. When Miyagi fights Col. Dugan, I always jokingly say "It could be worse for Dugan...He could be fighting Arnold Schwarzenegger." I'm sure some people will get the joke.
@@brunojuarez1883 Michael Ironside plays this top lackey named Richter in the 1990 movie, Total Recall. In that movie, he gets in a fist fight with Quaid (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) & it doesn't end well for him. Here's the scene... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iDSjnZqjdXo.html
@@brunojuarez1883 the joke about Arnold Schwarzenegger & Michael Ironside is based on Total Recall (1990), where Quaid (Schwarzenegger) & Richter (Ironside) get in that fight on the lift toward the end of the movie. There are clips of it here.
To have a person like Bobby in the gang I think was pretty unique. Most gangs you see in movies are mostly on the same page as far as wanting to cause trouble and not give a shit about anyone. But Bobby was different. He had enough of a conscience to see that Johnny and the guys were being way too over the top in beating up Daniel. He even had that in him at the beginning of the film when he tried to stop Johnny from going on to the beach to see Ali after seeing her with Daniel. In Cobra Kai, they're all old guys now who are seeing the error of their young ways. It was cool to see.
One thing Pat Morita nailed was how absolutely fearless Miyagi is when in the presence of danger and death. He's emotionless in battle. It always sets him apart from anyone he fights. He's a man whose looked death right in the eyes. His foes never understand his true nature; the reason he choose peace. They always underestimate him due to his size and age and, more than anything else, his seemingly pacifistic nature. They always think they are dealing with an old man who knows some karate. In reality, they are dealing with a warrior.
I feel like that goes with what Miyagi says to Daniel in the one fight. “It’s ok (for you) to lose to (an) opponent, but (you) must never lose to fear.”
im guessing the true take away from this is - its not the flashy moves, or even the speed of the moves, its just a matter of knowing how to read, anticipate and counter your enemies moves. Once you can nullify them, you own them. They can dance and hop and gang bang all they like. If you know whats coming, you already own them. Mr Miyagi owned them before the fights even began
An old man took on those testosterone-soaked teenage boys in Part 1. The real life actor was only 51. In the movie, probably more like 62 due to his WW2 service and having a young wife. 62 isn’t that old today, but was back then. And he was almost effortless and did it with ease. Miyagi was boss! And he only did it to protect Daniel. But Daniel needed a lesson to quit being a little whiny-ass as well.
If I were to see Miyagi lose a fight,I don't think I could handle it,that would bother the hell outta me.That was the true nature of my admiration for the guy,he was badass as badass gets!.John M Guinto
Know what I love about how Mr. Miyagi fights? Most of the time his style is completely defensive that knocks out his opponents, he's holding BACK everything except when he was fighting Chozen and Kreese the second time. What a truly wise grand master, he knows his offense would kill nearly anyone if he used it.
Word is that Mr. Miyagi has only been struck once in a fight. I heard a rumor it was when he was pretending to be a guy named Arnold, some guy in a leather jacket was so cool that the fight ended without a winner. But Mr. Miyagi couldn't show off his skill set entirely because of how cool that guy in the jacket was.
I love how they based all of Miyagi's fighting around lightening fast vision to see attacks, evade, and throw off balance. He didn't have to have speed. He had split second reaction times that would allow him to make a quick diversionary movement to get in position to get his shots in. Entirely a counterfighter. This was how they got around him being smaller and not being the fastest. He was the quickest in vision and knowing the next move.
I don't know if anyone else could see it in Cobra Kai but Chozen has become the next coming of Mr. Miyagi. That's why I am hoping to see more of Chozen in Season 6.
@Matthew Eubanks something I never understood. How did Johnny get a back eye,when miyagi never hit johnny in the face?cause when miyagi and daniel see kreese,johnny has a black eye
Funny thing is I don't think any of these martial artist are really any less skilled. I think Miyagi was just in a better head space. Always kept his cool. Always under control. While his opponents are always clouded by their emotions.
Also, he knew that the correct karate is for defense only not offense. Like in kk2, he was teaching Daniel the Miyagi family rules. Rule #1, karate is for defense only. Wonder how cobra Kai is going to play out for the last season.
Karate Kid series finishers: Mr. Miyagi - karate chop Terry Silver - spinning back kick John Kreese - rear naked choke Johnny Lawrence - flying kick Daniel LaRusso - crane kick Kwon Jae Sun - cartwheel leg drop Kim Sung Yang - reverse roundhouse Chozen - nerve strikes
Yes. He teaches for defense. Never thought of it that way, he uses throws and pushes occasional kick or sweep, but don’t think I’ve seen him throw a punch.
