Miyagi : Your friend, all karate student, eh? Daniel : Friend? Oh, yeah, those guys. Daniel : No the problem is, I'm getting my ass kicked every other day, that's the problem. Miyagi : Hai, because boys have bad attitude. Karate for defense only. Daniel : That's not what these guys are taught. Miyagi : Hai - can see. No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher. Teacher say, student do.

Daniel : Oh, great, that solves everything for me. I'll just go down to the school and straighten it out with the teacher, no problem. Miyagi : Now use head for something other than target. [Miyagi karate-chops the tops off three beer bottles] Daniel : How did you do that? How did you do that? Miyagi : Don't know. First time. Daniel : Yeah, I guess so. Miyagi : [sighs] Daniel-san, must talk. [they both kneel] Miyagi : Walk on road, hm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later [makes squish gesture] Miyagi : get squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes" or karate do "no." You karate do "guess so," [makes squish gesture] Daniel : [starts hopping around a bit] Pretty good, eh? Look at this! [mockingly punches Miyagi while continuing to bunny-hop] Miyagi : [trying to stop him] Hai! Wait! Hai! Wait, Daniel-san!

Daniel : [dancing around very quickly and still playfully punching Miyagi] What do you think, Mr. Miyagi? Miyagi : [knocks Daniel down] I tell you what Miyagi think! I think you *dance around* too much! I think you *talk* too much! I think you not concentrate enough! Lots of work to be done! Tournament just around corner! Miyagi : [Daniel has just gotten his driver's license and Miyagi has given him a car for his birthday] Just remember, license never replace eye, ear, and brain. [notices Daniel has suddenly gotten quiet] Miyagi : Number two present. [leads Daniel outside] Daniel : [walking and talking] Number two present? You don't have to give me anything. You've given me enough already. [Miyagi keeps walking, silently] Daniel : No really, I'm serious. Miyagi : [stops and points to his fleet of antique cars] Choose. Daniel : [surprised and hesitant] Oh, no... Miyagi : Hai! Hurt old man feeling. [points again] Miyagi : Choose. Daniel : When do I learn how to punch? Miyagi : Better learn balance.

Balance is key. Balance good, karate good. Everything good. Balance bad, better pack up, go home. Understand? Kreese : [at the Cobra Kai dojo] Class, we have visitors. Fall in behind me. Hai! [approaches Daniel and Miyagi, then speaks to Miyagi] Kreese : I hear you jumped some of my students last night. Miyagi : Afraid facts mixed up. Kreese : You calling Mr. Lawrence a liar? Miyagi : No call no one nothing. Kreese : What are you here for, old man? Miyagi : Come ask leave boy alone. Kreese : What's the matter, the boy can't take care of his own problems? Miyagi : One to one problem, yes. FIVE to one problem, too much ask anyone. Kreese : Is that what's bothering you? The odds? Well, we can fix that. Feel like matching, Mr. Lawrence? Miyagi : Ask one more small request. Kreese : Make it fast. Miyagi : Ask leave boy alone to train. Kreese : You're a pushy little bastard, ain't ya?

But I like that. I like that! All right. No one touches the prima donna until the tournament. Is that understood? [class responds with "YES SENSEI!"] Kreese : But if you don't show, it's open season on him... and you. [they nod at each other] Miyagi : [Daniel walks into Mr.Myagi's house and sits right next to Mr.Myagi, who is actually drunk] Ah, Daniel-san, come inside! Come inside! Miyagi : [Miyagi returns from fishing as Daniel is painting the house] Oh, miss spot. Daniel : What spot? Hey, how come you didn't tell me you were goin' fishing? Miyagi : You not here when I go. Daniel : Well, maybe I wanted to go, you ever think of that? Miyagi : You karate training. Daniel : I'm *what*? I'm bein' your goddamn *slave* is what I'm bein' here man, now c'mon we made a deal here! Miyagi : So? Daniel : So? So, you're supposed to teach and I'm supposed to learn!

For 4 days I've been bustin' my ass, and haven't learned a goddamn thing! Miyagi : You learn plenty. Daniel : I learn plenty, yeah, I learned how to sand your decks maybe. I washed your car, paint your house, paint your fence. I learn plenty! Miyagi : Ah, not everything is as seems... Daniel : Oh, bullshit! I'm goin' home, man! [Daniel turns to walk away] [Chozen has taken Kumiko hostage and is challenging Daniel to a fight] Mr. Miyagi : Chozen, you are your uncle's finest student. No disgrace him here. Chozen : Your student disgrace me. I have been dishonored all because of him. Daniel : Hey, whatever happened, I apologize! Chozen : Apology will not give me back my honor. Daniel : Well, neither will this. Chozen : In their eyes it will. No more talk. You cross bridge or I kill her. [Daniel starts to cross the bridge] Mr. Miyagi : Daniel-San, this not tournament. This for real. Sato : So coward, you return... Mr. Miyagi : To settle affairs with father.

Sato : And with me. Mr. Miyagi : Sato, I won't fight you. Sato : Then you die as you have lived: a coward. You see your father. THEN YOU SEE ME. [Miyagi has finally succeeded in catching a fly with his chopsticks - outside, Daniel drives up in the car Miyagi gave him for his birthday; it is sputtering and the fender is dented] Mr. Miyagi : Ah, Daniel-san! Must've been some senior prom. What happened? Daniel : You mean, what DIDN'T happen. First I let Ali borrow this car and she re-designs my fender. And I don't know what she's done to my engine, but that ain't running right either. You know what else she does? She tells me she's fallen in love with some football player from UCLA. Why couldn't she just lie to me or something? Mr. Miyagi : Things could be worse. Daniel : Don't worry, they are. Last night, my Mom tells me she got transferred by her company to their new branch... in FRESNO! I can't believe I gotta spend my entire summer vacation in FRESNO!

[Miyagi is examining the car, reaching under its hood] Daniel : You're not gonna be able to fix that. [No sooner are the words out of Daniel's mouth than Miyagi twists something around; now the engine runs perfectly] Daniel : How'd you do that? What'd you do? Daniel : [presenting Miyagi with a rosewood display case, obviously for Miyagi's WW2 medals] I got something for you here... see, it's rosewood. For your medals. I thought it'd be nice to... like, show 'em off or something. Miyagi : Why, Daniel-san... Thank you for gift. But why show off? Daniel : Well, you know, winning the Medal of Honor and all... It says something about you. Like, you're brave. And all that stuff. Miyagi : [puts hand to Daniel's chest] THIS say you brave. [motions to medal] Daniel : But they were, like, the enemy... weren't they? Miyagi : They were also PEOPLE, Danielsan.

[Daniel is at the airport, trying to talk Miyagi into taking him along to Okinawa] Daniel : Come on, it'll give me a chance to study Okinawan History... like up close, you know. Mr. Miyagi : Daniel-san, you never tell Miyagi you study Okinawan History before. Daniel : Well... I just started. [at the cannery. Daniel has ripped his shirt, and almost gotten himself killed, while perfecting Miyagi's "Swinging Drum" maneuver] Mr. Miyagi : Daniel-san, you all right? Daniel : Yeah... I'm sorry; that was pretty stupid, wasn't it? Mr. Miyagi : [with a grim smile] Miyagi say that to father when same thing happen. Father agree, was stupid. Father was right. [showing Daniel around the Miyagi Family Dojo] Mr. Miyagi : Aha... here are the Two Rules of Miyagi-Ryu Karate. Rule Number One: "Karate for defense only." Rule Number Two: "First learn Rule Number One." [Miyagi has given Daniel a drum toy] Daniel : This is the secret of your family's karate? Mr.

Miyagi : Practice, you will. [the day after Miyagi's father's funeral] Daniel : I don't get something. If Sato hates you so much, why does he give you time to mourn? Mr. Miyagi : Because, Daniel-san, Miyagi father was Sato teacher. Deep in heart, Sato still know right from wrong. Daniel : Then why does he still want to kill you? Mr. Miyagi : [shrugging] ... Because sometimes, what heart know, head forget. [Kreese breaks both hands after throwing missed punches at Miyagi; Miyagi forces him to his knees and draws back his hand for a death blow to the face] Mr. Miyagi : [repeating Kreese's words] Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man face you, he is enemy. Enemy deserve no mercy. [He lets out a karate yell and throws the chop, stopping his hand an inch away from Kreese's face. He honks Kreese's nose, then walks away. Kreese collapses] [after Miyagi saves Sato's life in the hurricane, he and Daniel survey the devastated village.

Sato's trucks pull up] Daniel : Hey, what's Sato doing here? [Sato gets out, dressed in a foreman's outfit] Sato : I come help rebuild. Here deed to village. [bows low] Sato : Forgive me, I beg of you. Mr. Miyagi : [claps him on the shoulder] Oh, Sato, nothing to forgive. [Daniel and Kumiko approach] Daniel : Mr. Sato? Can I say something? Well, o-bon's coming up, and they can't really have it in the village now... Sato : What do you ask of me? Daniel : Well, can they have it in the castle? I mean that's where it really belongs, isn't it? Sato : [smiles at Miyagi] Your student become my teacher. [shouts] Sato : O-bon will be held in castle, now and forever! [Cheering. Sato and Daniel shake hands] Sato : One condition: you dance with us. Okay? Johnny : I said I did my best! John Kreese : You're nothing! You lost! You're a loser! Johnny : No, YOU'RE the loser, man!

John Kreese : Oh I'm the loser huh? [grabs trophy from Johnny and breaks it, sending pieces flying] John Kreese : Now who's the loser? Johnny : You know, you're really sick man! John Kreese : [grabs and puts Johnny in choke hold... Bobby runs up but Kreese swats him away] How does second place feel now? Tommy : Come on, he can't breathe! Bobby : Sensei, please... you're hurting him! He's sorry, he really is, OK? Mr. Miyagi : [walking up to Kreese] Let him go. Tommy : Yeah, Mr. Miyagi's right! Let him go! [Kreese backhands Tommy] John Kreese : [hissing] Beat it, slope... or you're NEXT! Mr. Miyagi : I say, LET HIM GO! John Kreese : [breaks hold and frees a gasping Johnny... Kreese strikes at Miyagi twice, breaking both hands in the process by slamming his fists through two car windows... Miyagi forces Kreese to his knees] Mr. Miyagi : "Mercy is for the weak...

when man confronts you, he is enemy... [Kreese is staring fearfully at Miyagi, remembering his own words] Mr. Miyagi : ...enemy deserve no mercy. [Growls and brings fist to Kreese's nose, but honks it instead of delivering a fatal blow] Daniel : [as Daniel is working to salvage the Miyagi family dojo and bonsai garden - which Chozen and Company ransacked the night before - Miyagi approaches and hands him a scroll. Miyagi has already agreed to fight Sato, who threatened the entire village with sale to a real-estate developer if Miyagi refused] What's this? Mr. Miyagi : Last will and testament. Yukie get house and deed to village. You get house and pickup back home. Daniel : No, I don't want the house and the pickup back home, I want you! Can't you call this off? Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Not exactly ping-pong, either. Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : If karate used defend honor, defend life, karate mean something. If karate used defend plastic metal trophy, karate no mean nothing.

Terry Silver : You think this is the end of it, old man? I'm gonna open Cobra Kai dojos all over this Valley. Hell, I might even teach for free! From now on, all that anyone will know about is Cobra Kai karate. John Kreese's karate. You won't even be a memory! Daniel Larusso : Yes, he will. You won't. [Kreese and Silver are laughing hysterically, as Daniel turns to Miyagi] Daniel Larusso : NOW... will you train me? Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : What you doing. Daniel Larusso : Because Mr. Miyagi extreme situations require extreme measures. Okay? Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Oh, Daniel-san, that not sound like you talking. Daniel Larusso : Well, it is me talking, all right? [opens door to his room and confronts Miyagi face to face] Daniel Larusso : Look, I'm sorry if you don't like it but I've got problems, okay, and if you're not going to be part of the solution, just don't give me a hard time about it! All right? Okay, you got it?

1st Class Manuel TorresCortes, 10th Support Group (Regional)) VIEW ORIGINAL Soldiers and their spouses wait patiently for the sensei at the Torii Station Army Education Center to learn about Japanese history, cuisine, culture and language during the Newcomers Orientation and Japanese Headstart class, April 6-10. A sensei is commonly associated with martial arts, but sensei means, teacher or instructor. That role falls on Yoshiharu Miyagi, instructor of the Japanese Headstart Program, a weeklong class to familiarize newly arriving soldiers and family members to the island. "The class is designed to provide an orientation on the language and culture of Japan and Okinawa," said Miyagi. "It's very important for newcomers to understand about their host country by learning basic language skills, culture and customs so they may be able to live together as good neighbors." Learning common language and customs allows soldiers and their families to immerse themselves in a very rich culture that dates back 4,000 years and are very different from American culture. "This is truly a unique assignment and my family and I are extremely happy to be here," said Staff Sgt. Andrew Hildreth, 1st Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group.

"This class allows us to communicate with our Japanese neighbors and learn about their culture to better understand them." When students pronounce a word in Japanese correctly, a loud "cho jo to," is said to the students, which means very good in Japanese. Miyagi explains the importance of learning different cultures, customs and languages that ultimately benefits both American and Japanese people. "It bridges the gap of common misconceptions people have with other cultures they have never experienced before," said Miyagi. "By Americans learning the Japanese language, it shows respect and honor to the Japanese people. It also helps Americans to go out in the city and enjoy the wonderful culture and cuisine they have here." The family members and soldiers had the opportunity to visit the Japanese Ground Defense Forces' Camp Naha, Japanese Navy Underground Headquarters and conducted a cultural tour of the Ryukyu Mura, a small theme park about traditional life in Okinawa during the 15th Century. "This is a great tool for families because the best part is we can do it together," said Geysel Irizarry, wife of Sgt. Luis A. Irizarry, 1st Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment.

Irizarry and his wife are originally from Puerto Rico, who just recently moved from Germany to Japan, providing them a deeper understanding for the importance of getting immersed in the country. "Learning the language is very important to us because it allows us to do more things here and information provided in this class will ensure our tour here will be a great one," Sgt. Luis Irizarry said. "We enjoyed the tours but for us, the best part of our class was Mr. Miyagi, he is the soul of the class. He made it fun and interesting." Whether the training is martial arts or even language classes, every sensei aims to teach so their student may learn and grow.

Their argument was overheard by Mr. Miyagi, who emerges from his office, troubled over Daniel's problem. Daniel: How come you didn't tell me? Mr. Miyagi: Tell you what? Daniel: That you knew karate? Mr. Miyagi: You never ask? Daniel: Well, where did you learn it? Mr. Miyagi: Father. Daniel: But I thought he was a fisherman. Mr. Miyagi: In Okinawa, all Miyagi know two things: fish and karate. Karate come from China, sixteenth century, called te, "hand". Hundred year later, Miyagi ancestor bring to Okinawa, call karate. "empty hand". Daniel: I always thought it came from Buddhist temples and stuff like that. Mr.

Miyagi: You too much TV. Daniel: That what my mother tells me. Mr. Miyagi: Fighting always last answer to problem. Daniel: No offense, Mr Miyajee, but I don't think you understand my problem... Mr. Miyagi: [interrupting] Mi... ya... gi... understand problem perfect. Your friend, all karate student, eh? Daniel: Friend? Oh, yeah, those guys. Mr. Miyagi: Problem: attitude. Daniel: No the problem is, I'm getting my ass kicked every other day, that's the problem. Mr. Miyagi: Because boys have bad attitude. Karate for defense only. Daniel: That's not what these guys are taught. Mr. Miyagi: Hai - can see. No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher. Teacher say, student do. Daniel: Oh, great, that solves everything for me. I'll just go down to the school and straighten it out with the teacher, no problem. Mr. Miyagi: Now use head for something other than target Daniel-san. Daniel: I was only kidding. Mr. Miyagi: Why?

Daniel: Because I'd get killed if I showed up there. Mr. Miyagi: Get killed anyway. Daniel: Would you go with me? Mr. Miyagi: No can do. Daniel: Why? You said it was a good idea. Mr. Miyagi: For you, good idea. For me, good idea no get involved. Daniel: But you're already involved. Mr. Miyagi: Very sorry. Daniel: Well thanks for nothing then! Thanks for nothing. Like I didn't have enough problems already. Now I gotta carry your weight too. Thanks. Don't do me any more favors pal alright? Mr. Miyagi: Daniel-san. Mr. Miyagi: OK, I go. Daniel: Oh thanks! Thanks Mr. Miyajee. Mr. Miyagi: Miyagi. Daniel: Miyagi. Hey, what kind of belt do you have? Mr. Miyagi: Canvas. J.C. Penney. $3.98. You like? [laughs] Daniel: No, I meant...

Mr. Miyagi: Good night, Daniel-san. Daniel: Good night, Mr. Miyajee. Miyagi! Miyagi. Tomorrow morning? Mr. Miyagi: Ten o clock. Mr. Miyagi: Now, ready? Daniel: Yeah, I guess so. Mr. Miyagi: [sighs] Daniel-san, must talk. [they both kneel] Walk on road, hm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later, [makes squish gesture] get squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes", or karate do "no".

Breathe in through nose, out of mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important. [walks away, still making circular motions with hands] Wax on... wax off. Wax on... wax off. Daniel: Hey where do these old cars come from? Mr. Miyagi: Detroit. Daniel: Wouldn't a fly swatter be easier? Mr. Miyagi: Man who catch fly with chopsticks accomplish anything. Daniel: Ever catch one? Mr. Miyagi comes home from fishing and finds Daniel close to finishing painting his house. Mr. Miyagi: Oop. Miss spot. Daniel: What spot?

Hey, how come you didn't tell me you were going fishing? Mr. Miyagi: You not here when I go. Daniel: Maybe I would've like to have gone. You ever think about that? Mr. Miyagi: You karate training. Daniel: I'm WHAT?! I'm being your goddamn slave man is what I'm being! Now we made a deal here. Mr. Miyagi: So? Daniel: So? So you're supposed to teach and I'm supposed to learn remember?

Mr. Miyagi: Daniel-san! Daniel-san!! Daniel: What? Mr. Miyagi: Show me sand floor. Daniel: I can't move my arm, alright? [Mr.

Miyagi claps then rubs his hands quickly] What are you doing? What? [Mr. Miyagi starts massaging Daniel's arm] Ow! Ow, what are you doing? Mr. Miyagi: Now show me sand floor. [Daniel's pain has been suppressed] Daniel: How did you do that? Mr. Miyagi: SHOW!!! Daniel: What were you doing on those stumps over there? Mr. Miyagi: Called crane technique. Daniel: Does it work? Mr. Miyagi: If do right, no can defense. Daniel: Could you teach me? Mr. Miyagi: First learn stand, then learn fly. Nature rule, Daniel-san, not mine. Daniel: Where did you learn it from? Mr. Miyagi: Father teach. Daniel: You must have had some father, man Mr. Miyagi: Oh, yes. Mr. Miyagi: Excuse me, please. Boy cold. Must leave. Kindly remove bottles. Drunk: Kindly do it yourself, Mr. Moto! [Miyagi karate-chops the tops of three beer bottles] Daniel: How did you do that? How did you do that? Mr.

Miyagi: Don't know. First time. Mr. Miyagi: [on Daniel's birthday, after having already given him his present] Go outside. Something show you. Daniel: What? Mr. Miyagi: Number two present. [leads Daniel outside] Daniel: [walking and talking] Number two present? You don't have to give me anything. You've given me enough already. [Miyagi keeps walking, silently] No really, I'm serious. Mr. Miyagi: [stops and points to his fleet of antique cars] Choose. Daniel: [surprised and hesitant] Oh, no... Mr. Miyagi: Hai! Hurt old man feeling. [points again] Choose. Daniel: I'm just scared.

Daniel, Mr. Miyagi and Ali go out onto tournament quadrangle, where they are stopped by an official. Official: Hold it. Only teachers and students on the competition floor. I'm sorry. Daniel: Oh, but he doesn't speak English and I can't understand his instructions without her. She's his translator. Mr. Miyagi says something unintelligible. Official: What did he say? Ali: He said you reminded him of an uncle of his in Tokyo. Official: [flattered] Well, I guess it is all right. Mr. Miyagi says something unintelligible. Official: What's that? Ali: He says you're very kind. Official: Thank you. Kreese: Bobby, I want him out of commission. Bobby: But, Sensei, I can beat this guy. Kreese: I don't want him beaten.

Bobby: But I'll be disqualified. Kreese: Out of commission. Kreese: [about Daniel's injured leg] Sweep the leg. [Johnny stares at him in shock] Kreese: Do you have a problem with that? Johnny: No, Sensei. Kreese: No mercy. Score is tied 2-2. The next point will mean the end of the tournament. Daniel assumes the crane kick position. As Johnny advances, Daniel does the crane kick to his head. Referee: Winner! Ring Announcer: The new champion! Daniel Larusso! Audience cheers. Both Mrs. LaRusso and Ali rush out to the mat hug Daniel Lucille: Oh, Daniel! [everyone hoists up Daniel; Johnny hands Daniel the trophy] Johnny: You're all right, Larusso! Daniel: Thanks a lot!
