→Part I: fatherless kid from New Jersey learns karate from an unlikely mentor: the super of a rundown apartment building
==Part I==
==Part I==
Moving from New Jersey to California, Daniel fails to understand the social rules of his new school. He falls afoul of a group of karate students taught by, an ex-military man whose creed is "No mercy". Miyagi teaches Daniel karate in a subtle, puzzling way. Basic blocking moves are disguised as movements of painting a fence and polishing a car.
Moving from New Jersey to California with his single mother, Daniel is a fatherless boy who fails to understand the social rules of his new school. He falls afoul of a group of karate students taught by an ex-military man whose creed is "No mercy".
The super of his new residence (Mr. Miyagi) teaches Daniel karate in a subtle, puzzling way. Basic blocking moves are disguised as movements of painting a fence and polishing a car.
Thinking he's never going to learn and thing and that Miyagi is just taking advantage of him, Daniel is about to quit. He confronts Miyagi, who shouts "Wax on!" (the signal to move his arm in a circle) while taking a mock swing at him. Daniel blocks the blow perfectly. After a few similar exchanges, Daniel realizes that his yard chores actually made him rather proficient in self-defense.
