Re: Karate Kid and Aikido

I still don't understand why anyone would help Daniel. The kid was a arrogant jerk with anger management issues.

I mean first he gets beat up for hitting on a guys girlfriend. He imagined himself some kind of tough guy cause he read some books on fighting and got beat up for it. So what does he do? Does he ignore the kids and try to move on with his life looking at other girls and making friends? Nope. The stupid kid picks yet another fight with the gang that beat him up the first time.

Yet he seems shocked to be beat up for tormenting the kid who beat him up in the first place. So then this old man shows up and beats a bunch of teenagers senseless. He sees a troubled kid with anger issues and how does he help him? He teaches him to fight. Then to take it a step further he actually goes and picks a fight for the kid to fight.

Later the kid is hurt again, rather then teaching him when to let it go, he helps the kid get back up (from a knee injury which obviously is a bad idea) and puts him back in the fight.

Overall all Daniel learned (as proven by the next 2 movies) was that the only way to solve your problems was to be a prick and to fight.
