Cobra Kai or Miyagi? I love that movie because it got all those little shit bastards into the dojo. And their useless self absorbed parents are happy to pay up because it is cheaper than daycare. And because of those those little brats and the $$$ that their dumbass parents pony up, I can have air conditioning, mats all over the place, and every possible piece of equipment. And it is all for 1980's prices!! Yes , that Karate Kid movie really improved martial arts.
As far as the movie itself, it was total bullshit. Hollywood is total bullshit.

Plus the tournament was pretty unrealistic - no age, weight, gender or rank classes, just everybody fighting everybody.
Miyagi was a crappy martial arts teacher, but Cobra Kai were a bunch of assholes. I think it's important - especially if you're teaching kids and teens- for a martial arts school to be an ethical and positive/supportive group. If you're teaching martial arts and teaching people to be assholes, than you're just training up a bunch of bullies.

The KK tournies up here don't even have that. I was fresh out of my white in my first tournie when I got destroyed by a brown with years of competition experience for my first fight.

On another note when the science catches up I am going to use my engineering know how to build the "Montage Machine" where basically you will be able to download skills right into the brain. Sort of like in the Matrix.

I met Sensei Demura a while back when he came here to Honduras to test two local high rank black belts for higher grade. He flunked both of them. Respect for the man.
