Authenticity
Are the karate moves authentic or are the actors just goofing around?
shareSome of the moves are genuine Karate moves and it's fair to assume there is a Martial Arts co-ordinator who works with the actors.
shareThere's no assumption. Pat Johnson, the referee, was the coordinator/choreographer. He taught all of them. There's actually a picture out there of him working with Pat Morita and Martin Kove together.
shareYou’ll have to excuse wears. He has a limited understanding of karate.
shareWhat an odd thing to say when you yourself have no understanding of Karate at all, yet I have been training for 40 years and currently hold the rank of 7th dan Blackbelt. Still, I suppose that is you just being obtuse...again!
shareYou’re like Gareth from the Office reminding people he served in the territorial army every five minutes. No one cares.
shareNo, I only remind people like you who have this delusion that you know more about a subject in which you have no experience than someone who has many years experience and the qualifications to back it up. You are the A typical armchair general/coach who always thinks their opinion outranks anyone else's despite you not being piss wise in the first place.
shareFunnily enough I was thinking about the Cobra Kai series. I know Pat Johnson was the co-ordinator for Karate Kid and was a real life Martial Artist (he was in Enter the Dragon).
The training for the first KK movie and the full movie rehearsal is on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0cu0If_CT4. It's an interesting watch.
