Daniel’s attempt to sweep Barnes
was pathetic. The ease with which Barnes diffuses the threat just shows the gap between them.

Yeah, it was poor indeed. Wonder who taught him that?
Oh hang on, it was Silver wasn't it?
Yeah, pathetic.
How did Daniel manage to screw it up? Terry Silver gave him simple instructions.

See how that works?
Daniel executed it badly without properly following Silver’s instructions. He didn’t make a strong stance, twist his hip at the end or keep his hands up. It’s no wonder Barnes subdued him so easily.
shareFollowing Silvers instructions? Didn't Barnes do that for the tournament?
Yet still lost the tournament
If you think about it Daniel didn't screw it up since Silver was specifically teaching him to make sure he lost to Barnes. And he also was teaching Barnes specifically how to counter anything he showed Daniel.
shareYeah, I get that, but a certain idiot doesn't.
shareYou don’t get shit. Daniel was a bad student. After all his practice on the pipe machine and spending all night studying Silver’s book, he still botched the move.
shareCan't learn Karate from a book.
Furthermore, as was stated, Silver was teaching Daniel to fail.
Did you forget that ?
His sweep lesson in Miyagi’s backyard was legit. Daniel’s attempt at Barnes showed none of the technique Silver had taught him. He was a poor athlete and his shortcomings were exposed.

Seems like you are trying to convince yourself more than anything else.
He was a poor athlete and his shortcomings were exposed.
And yet he beat Barnes in the end eh?
Go figure.
Considering all the narrative attention paid to sweeping, Daniel’s botched attempt seemed curiously anticlimactic. Perhaps Avilsden was highlighting his lack of skills to further the audience’s contempt for him.

Or to make Barnes look better than he was.
Your clueless.
shareYou're not very good at this are you?
You see, without your gang you are fuck all. Just another dickhead trying to act big and failing miserably
No Terry was teaching Daniel sound technique. Had LaRusso paid attention instead of whining “why do I have to do this?!” every 5 seconds he might have learned something and succeeded.

That he primed Barnes for.

Are you stupid? Why would Silver teach him something that could help him win against Barnes?
What a dope!
He was teaching him moves he didn’t have… techniques he needed to win the tournament. You think he could have relied on that crane crap?
shareHe was teaching him moves he didn’t have
He also made Barnes aware of those moves.
… techniques he needed to win the tournament.
What? He didn't want him to win the tournament. Are being deliberately obtuse or are you just stupid?
You think he could have relied on that crane crap?
No. Miyagi didn't think so either. Which is why he taught him the Kata so he could release his best Karate. Before you bother to deride this, just remember....it worked!
You think Daniel displayed an example of “best karate” in the tournament?
shareNo, I think in sudden death he let HIS best Karate out.
shareIf a kata and a Hail Mary fake-out flip move to get saved by the buzzer so he wouldn’t end up with Barnes foot on his throat was Daniels ‘best’ karate it was poor indeed.

It worked didn't it?
It foiled Silvers plan didn't it?
Oh, and it made Barnes look inept and foolish too.
At the end of the day Silver is still a billionaire businessman Barnes showed Daniel what pain and fear was in front of a 1000 people and Daniel and Miyagi spent the next 6 weeks squatting in the restroom for fear of getting jumped in the car lot.
shareAt the end of the day Silver is still a billionaire businessman
Well it was never the plan for him to lose all of his money was it?
Barnes showed Daniel what pain and fear was in front of a 1000 people
And Daniel flipped him like a pancake, made him look a fool and retained his title in front of 1000 people.
and Daniel and Miyagi spent the next 6 weeks squatting in the restroom for fear of getting jumped in the car lot.
No. You just wish that had happened.
How did Barnes screw up? He won a point and lost a point to ensure the match lasted as long as possible to prolong Daniels suffering. Daniel felt pain in every part of his body and fear in every part of his mind right in front of a 1000 people. Seems to me Barnes succeeded.
shareHow did Barnes screw up?
He lost!
Seems to me Barnes succeeded.
Then you missed the point didn't you!
You even admitted previously that for all intents and purposes Terry Silver succeeded. What sense of pride did Daniel leave the tournament with? A fucking plastic trophy? He lost his dignity and self worth during his whiny little bitch-beating and suffered the abject humiliation of a nervous breakdown! Daniel was so low he wouldn’t even be accepted into your Wears Alan Imaginary McDojo after his pitiful showing.
shareBarnes lost. That wasn't the plan.
Had LaRusso paid attention instead of whining “why do I have to do this?!” every 5 seconds he might have learned something and succeeded.
Succeeded? He won the match. He also went on to own a successful car dealership. What did Barnes do? End up owning 50% of Dojos that never materialised, that's what.
Maybe you haven’t head but Cobra Kai is back. Barnes is gonna get his 50% too. From now one when people come to this board all they will see is cobra Kai karate… John Kreeses karate! You won’t even be a memory WA!
shareMaybe you haven’t head but Cobra Kai is back.
Head?

Nope.

One?
So what you are saying is that so far they haven't seen genuine Cobra Kai Karate...just you playing at it with your sock accounts.
You won’t even be a memory WA!
Lol.
