I was a teenager at the time, and I was taking TKD. About a couple of weeks after “Karate Kid” came out, we had a surge in student enrollment. This movie was a god send for martial art schools. “Miyagi use Karate to fight for life not for points” is one of the best lines in movies.

The plot and such might be hokey, but the way Miyagi backs up and doesn't take his eyes off Kreese nor turn his back until he's well out of arm's reach is brilliantly subtle.

God what a classic scene from one of my favourite movies ever!!!i must have watched it literally over twenty times!!great chemistry, Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita!!!

Always loved this scene

I love that Miyagi pushes Daniel behind him so that he can maintain eye contact. This is a lesson he teaches later when bowing. "Eye, ALWAYS look at eye!". Just because you're not looking for a fight, doesn't mean you ever drop your guard in front of a threat. Miyagi has no way of knowing if this teacher will sucker punch him from behind if he turns his back to him (which some enemies can see as an insult like "you're so much of a non-threat, I can turn my back to you"). It's a small detail, but it's important in establishing the rules of martial arts and keeping the audience on edge.

In real life if one person has to fight five people at the same time that one person is in trouble no matter how tough he may be. John Kreese himself would be dead in real life if five of his top students surrounded him and were working together to take him down (like if you were to substitute Kreese for Daniel in the Halloween incident". Go to any 3rd rate MMA gym and grab 5 weekened warrior wannabes with some fighting ability and have them work together against the world champ and the champ is dead meat.

I'm wondering just what Sensei Kreese is going to do. I would guess, though, that his first target would be Terry Silver. That would be epic! He could eliminate him...and then, he could actually make peace with those people, that he has wronged in the past, and then possibly fade into the "Sunset"...or, even at his age, start a new chapter in his life, by actually helping Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence. As bad a Man as he's been in the past, amazingly,che still has some good in him. We saw the faces in that one Scene, of the Young Lady, that was the Love of his Life, and also the faces, both good and bad, that he has also encountered. I still think, though, that his primary target is Silver. He taught Silver almost everything he knows. Almost. A great Sensei, such as Sensei Kreese, however, never teaches any protege EVERYTHING that he knows. He always saves something of value back for himself-Just in case the need ever arises for him to fall back on it! Sensei Kreese is THE MAN!!!

As for Daniel, he managed to pursue his true passion: he became a full time car wash employee, and later a car wash owner. Last time we checked, he changed his name to Bogdan and overgrew his eyebrows, to keep his anonymity.
