Review
A fatherless teenager arrives in California to find himself bullied by a local karate expert. Helped by a wise old Okinawan man, Miyagi, Daniel-san's training includes not just the technique to face his enemies in competition but many, far more valuable, moral lessons. A charming movie with many wry and wise quips and a huge nod to zen. 'Paintdafence', 'Wax-on-wax-off' and the less well known 'Sand-da-fwoor'. Ace.
