Robinson is a martial arts expert himself, trained extensively in Kenpo karate, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, and Brazilian jujitsu. "Going where few journalists gonzo or otherwise are willing to tread, he introduces us to knife fighters, soccer hooligans, mobbed-up boxers, prison yard pugilists, and mixed martial artists.

In John G. Avildsen's THE KARATE KID, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and his mother (Randee Heller) move from New Jersey to Southern California, where he's not too keen about his new home--until he meets Ali (Elizabeth Shue), an attractive girl who seems to like him. But trouble looms when Ali's ex-boyfriend (William Zabka) and his gang of ruffians start tormenting Daniel. One day, as Daniel is suffering a beating at the hands of these louts, Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki Pat Morita), an elderly Japanese handyman, comes to his rescue. To Daniel's amazement, Miyagi manages to take down the whole group all by himself using karate. Daniel begs to learn this ancient martial art, and soon Miyagi begins the boy's training, teaching Daniel that there is more to karate than fighting. Through a series of lessons, the wise mentor instills a sense of honor and nobility in his young pupil while preparing him for the ultimate karate showdown. However, as Daniel studies the discipline and art of karate, his enemies are learning a dirtier kind of fighting from Kreese (Martin Kove), a cold-blooded ex-marine. Ultimately, the boys will fight to the finish in the All Valley Karate Championship in a rousing and triumphant finale. Morita is a gem as the elderly father figure Miyagi, giving the character warmth, wisdom, and comic charm. Macchio's underdog character inspired an entire generation to run out and join the nearest karate school while chanting wax on, wax off.
This sequel to the 1984 surprise hit The Karate Kid reunites Ralph Macchio as high-schooler Danny and Noriyuki "Pat" Morita as Danny's martial-arts mentor, Miyagi. Picking up where the first film left off, The Karate Kid Part II finds Danny and Miyagi making an emergency trip to Okinawa, where Miyagi's father is dying. Here they revisit Miyagi's childhood sweetheart (Nobu McCarthy), who, Miyagi believes, had been wheedled into an arranged marriage with loose-cannon karate expert Sato (Danny Kamekona). Little does Miyagi realize that the woman is still single; Sato is still around as well, however, and intent on resuming the fight with his old nemesis. Morita agrees; meanwhile, Danny is challenged by Kamekona's pugnacious nephew (Yuji Okumoto). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Newly arrived in California from New Jersey, teenager Daniel (Ralph Macchio) almost immediately runs afoul of karate-trained high school bullies. He is rescued by Japanese janitor Miyagi (Noriyuki Pat Morita), who agrees to teach Daniel how to harness karate for good instead of brutality. The film culminates in a championship karate bout, pitting Daniel against his sworn enemy Johnny (William Zabka) -- the cruel and thuggish boyfriend of Ali (Elisabeth Shue), with whom Daniel has fallen in love (and vice versa). Real-life karate champ Chuck Norris was offered the role of Kreese, the sadistic coach who goads Johnny into fighting dirty, but Norris turned down the role, refusing to be shown utilizing his skills negatively onscreen. Vastly popular, The Karate Kid spawned three sequels of rapidly descending merit, as well as a Saturday-morning cartoon series. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi Daniel studies the discipline and art of karate, his enemies are learning a dirtier kind of fighting from Kreese (Martin Kove), a cold-blooded ex-marine.

12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
Gangster loses fight to next karate kid (real fight)
Who would win in a normal fight between world champion karate expert and the world champion boxing expert?
Well it would depend on alot of things. Are they both wearing gloves? Are they in the same weight class?
I would be inclined to say Boxer though since they have a very straightforward technique of attack and defence which even a karate expert would find hard to exploit, but realistically it could go either way.
Karate Fight Are there any karate class-ish classes which teach you how to fight with katanas or wooden katanas?
I think it would be awesome to go to katana class. and btw i know about kenjutsu but it seems pretty lame with that armour and those swords and the target zones.
Karate literally means the art of the empty hand. It was designed to be a fighting system developed by farmers do defend themselves without the use of weapons. Some teachers might encompass things from kenjutsu or iaido but by the book karate does not encompass weapons.

Karate Fight How much does it cost to go to karate school and do you exercise there or just fight?
Can any age go or is it just kids
do I have to say sensei and is it okay if my sensei is white not asian
Cost - depends on the area. US average is between $100-150/month. In my area, the average is about $75...
Anyone can train in the martial arts, not just kids. I know a woman who started training at 60....
What you call your instructor is up to him/her. If they want you to call them sensei or sir or instructor or master... they'll tell you up front. And, no, your instructor does not have to be asian.

Karate Fight Who would win in a fight, a Karate master or a Kung Fu master? Why?
Who would win in a fight, a Karate master or a Kung Fu master? Why?
Which one is more of a better way of fighting?
Which is a better pencil to do math, one from Office Depot or one from Staples? It doesn't matter what the tool is, it's the skill of the person using it.
Besides, when you use vague terms like Karate and Kung Fu you are actually talking about two very interrelated fields that have more in common than they have differences. You also have to account for the hundreds, even thousands, of styles of each art.

Karate Fight What is the best way to take on a boxer in a fight, i do karate?
OK, first off, fighting outside of a friendly competition is BAD, and shouldn't be done.
Now that the disclaimer is out of the way...
Keep your hands up. One of the downsides of most karate classes is that there's no focus on keeping your hands up to protect your jaw. That's where you get knocked out, on your jaw.
Offensively, use your kicks. It might freak him out a bit. Use your footwork: every time his feet get planted, it means he can throw power punches, so don't let him get set. Use your backfist to set up other punches by whipping it out like a jab. Kick his legs to take some of his speed away (and yes, boxers are fast, not just in their hands, but also with their footwork and evasive upper-body movement).
And don't forget to keep your hands up. Yes, it had to be said again. It's that important. If your hands drop, you'll be waking up asking what day it is.
The 2xCD audio version of Robinson's book, "FIGHT: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Ass-Kicking But Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked For Asking", play out like Ray Liotta's voiceover from "Goodfellas" transposed across a series of merciless, technically proficient beating. Robinson is a martial arts expert himself, trained extensively in Kenpo karate, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, and Brazilian jujitsu. "Going where few journalists gonzo or otherwise are willing to tread, he introduces us to knife fighters, soccer hooligans, mobbed-up boxers, prison yard pugilists, and mixed martial artists. It's a wild and hugely entertaining ride" - AC Thompson, investigative reporter and co-author of "Torture Taxi".
In John G. Avildsen's THE KARATE KID, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and his mother (Randee Heller) move from New Jersey to Southern California, where he's not too keen about his new home--until he meets Ali (Elizabeth Shue), an attractive girl who seems to like him. But trouble looms when Ali's ex-boyfriend (William Zabka) and his gang of ruffians start tormenting Daniel. One day, as Daniel is suffering a beating at the hands of these louts, Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki Pat Morita), an elderly Japanese handyman, comes to his rescue. To Daniel's amazement, Miyagi manages to take down the whole group all by himself using karate. Daniel begs to learn this ancient martial art, and soon Miyagi begins the boy's training, teaching Daniel that there is more to karate than fighting. Through a series of lessons, the wise mentor instills a sense of honor and nobility in his young pupil while preparing him for the ultimate karate showdown. However, as Daniel studies the discipline and art of karate, his enemies are learning a dirtier kind of fighting from Kreese (Martin Kove), a cold-blooded ex-marine. Ultimately, the boys will fight to the finish in the All Valley Karate Championship in a rousing and triumphant finale. Morita is a gem as the elderly father figure Miyagi, giving the character warmth, wisdom, and comic charm. Macchio's underdog character inspired an entire generation to run out and join the nearest karate school while chanting wax on, wax off.

is karate useful when u have to defend urself in a street fight when ur bully comes really close to u and grab
in street fight there is no distance like the fights in karate,but is karate useful in street fights?
Yes of course. It is all on how you learned to use it from your teacher. Some teachers are good and others not so good.
That is what really makes the difference on whether any form of Martial arts will work. Did you have a good teacher & did you learn it well yourself.
IF both are yes than it can be effective on the street. If you had a bad school like a mcdojo you will think you are ok and end up with the tar beat out of you.
