Daniel LaRusso moves to Los Angeles with his mother, Lucille, and soon strikes up a relationship with Ali. He quickly finds himself the target of bullying by a group of high school students, led by Ali's ex-boyfriend Johnny, who study karate at the Cobra Kai dojo under ruthless sensei, John Kreese. Fortunately, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi, an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him in a more compassionate form of karate for self-defense and, later, preparing him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai.

"Great memories with this movie. Ralph Macchio, I think, gets ribbed a lot but I think he’s good. I love him in these movies. Also Pat Morris. Same thing. It’s got a great lesson in it and we need that. Plus! I think it’s a lot fun. Hope you enjoy it if you have not yet seen it. "

"The OG before Cobra Kai. Mr. Miyagi he was fire. Still holds its quality so many years later."
