The Karate Kid?

Question

I want your honest opinion, do you really think someone in real life that's at Mr. Miyagi's skill level can defeat Cobra Kai students that easily? I'd like to think so, but i'm having doubts.

To those of you who do not know, Cobra Kai Karate is a type of karate that basically teaches "strike first, strike hard, and strike without mercy." Other sickly words of wisdom from the Cobra Kai instructors are: "When a man faces you he is the enemy, the enemy deserves no mercy". "Mercy is for the weak."

Here are some videos:

Answer 1

Movies usually follow a prewritten script, and the main moral of Karate Kid is that weak should never be underestimated, as they also hold the potential to rise and crush the unruly powerful. In this movie, villian is shown to have expertise in Cobra kai karate, that is considered to be a formidable carate form, but he is defeated by the experienced Mr Miyagi. Anything can happen in movie, even if its impossible in reality. The reason behind this defeat is to spread the message, that strong can be defeated by the determined and wilful spirits of the weak.
