I was sat in the living room the other night, watching Karate Kid with my fiancee, eating junk and chilling out. The movie came to the scene where you're inside the Cobra Kai gym and watching them train.
For a moment it kind of hit me, while this movie seems to be building Creasey up as the bad guy and is trying to show off his gym and training as being very brutal and very strict. I thought to myself, you know what... He's actually a pretty good teacher aside from the being nuts part.
The training is hard and brutal (which it kind of should be) and he heavily promotes pragmatism and hard full contact sparring. He doesn't mess around with all the wax on wax off crap. He has his students train hard, spar hard and I can totally see why his students win often at competitions.
All I'm saying is, if I was training to toughen up and learn how to fight, this is the gym I'd want to go to as opposed to Miyagis really unorthodox ways of training.
I'm not sure if this is something that's been done before but I'd like to hear your thoughts and who would you prefer to be taught by.
