I've had two people ask me this today but i don't know and it's got me curious as welll....

some people insist (i am with them) that there is a movie with pat morita (we know him dearly as Mr. Miyagi) and a girl learning karate. Does anyone know this movie?

Strike first. 'Til then i will not fight you.


Everytime someone calls JKD a style, Bruce turns over.


Why do I love Bruce Lee? Not because he was an awesome martial artist- but because his train of thought overlapped with mine even before I knew about him.

Thank you karate forums, for introducing me to Bruce Lee

It was called "The Next Karate Kid" and had Hillary Swank in place of Ralph Macchio. The URL for info is:

It deals with a troubled teenager, which is standard, but there was a different bond formed when Mr. Miyagi now worked with a female. (I remember him speaking aloud to himself, "Boys much easier teach than girls.") A Buddhist monastery was also in the film, the monks being somber at the monastery, but lovable when at Mr. Miyagi's home.

I liked the movie, but no sequel came along.

Interesting! The boy is ten years old, so it'll be somewhat different. Maybe that's good; a pre-teen instead of a teenage character.

Man, it was bad enough the first time around. I always hate seeing those movies because I can always identify more with the bad guys that the heroes...bummer.

Well, it was about due for a remake. We'll see how it goes. Since Jaden Smith is being tutored in MA now, perhaps the choreography can be a bit more convincing.

Ya, I hope the fighting is not to cheesy. Like the movie "never back down" the fighting was not to bad but the story line was terrible.
