you karate do yes, karate do no, karate do guess so *squish* just like grape.

KK was fantastic for quotes.

Daniel - "Can you do that?!?"

Miyagi - "Don't Know. Never been attacked by tree"

Anyway, so we don't hijack the thread, look here...

Someone may have already made this point but...

Robert Mark Kamen, who wrote the Karate Kid, studied Goju Ryu, and though he didn't directly say it, if Mr. Miyagi's style were to have a name, it would probably be Goju Ryu. Not only because Kamen studied it, but the blocking system Daniel is taught reflects it's philosophy, being that he learns both hard (wax on/off, sand the floor) and soft (paint the fence/house) blocks. Also Miyagi's ki power reflects that which is sometimes associated with Goju Ryu.

I think someone said this earlier, that the Miyagi family kata is one that probably came from Fumio Demura, the stunt man for Miyagi, I think his style is Shito Ryu.

Ah, thanks for the info, Steve_K. That sheds some light on it!

My goodness, I never thought there was a Karate Kid message board.

Zorbasan's quote sites were cool, too. Man, I need to get that box set.
