What did you learn from Karate Kid 1 and 2

I learned that bullying weaker people is cowardly and wrong. And that Okinawa and Japan is amazing and full of ancient history.

But what did you learn?

Battles are never fair. But i am not sure what you mean by cheating.

Basically, kicking somebody in the head (as Daniel does in the final fight) isn't allowed in real tournaments and would normally lead to disqualification.

No. If you listen closely, a hit to the head, chest and back is allowed for points. Basically any lethal attacks is from what i know not allowed. I dont think crane kick would be considered lethal as like breaking someone's leg.

A kick is not illegal to the head, punching however is though.

Pretty much this, I think if people remember something as flawless they are thinking about it through nostalgia goggles or normie goggles or, some kind of goggles that do not allow them to notice flaws anyways.

 

This video is wrong tho, as during the costume party ganging up on the protagonist was the wrong thing to do, the other explanations before that were fine tho.

All things that interact with the world exert a force. All things that exert a force have an opposite and equal force. Ergo, nothing immaterial exists [because where would the opposite force be without material as a medium?]. Ergo god doesn't exist immaterially. Also if the universe were infinite itd take infinite time for a god to make it. If it were finite it'd be subject to entropy. Which means an eternal god can't exist.

I tend to take  most things people on reddit says with a grain of salt. Do you have any other sourcers? 

Also, just going to leave this here.

Karate Kid 1- I learned that you can start a stick shift car with a push start.  If you're one of 3 girls growing up in a neighborhood of a boys, an unintentional crane kick to the family jewels will keep the boys from ever picking on you again. Oh, and wax on, wax off.

Karate Kid 2- Japan was still stuck in mid 50's U S rock and roll culture when the movie came out. How to play with the drum toy.  I really want to learn Japanese fan dancing and tea ceremonies.


And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.-- The Tick
