The inpsirational Karate Kid movie
This section of Macclesfield Kickboxing Academy site would not be complete without a mention of the Karate-kid movie. For all those kids who wanted to do Karate, but mom wouldnt let us, this movie saved our dreams. Mr Miyagi cast martial arts in a favourable light once more, and a generation of kids took to their pj's and discovered amongst the joys of impaling their mates on a texbook back kick, a lifetime of discipline, focus and friendships.
The original Karate-kid film is worth a re-watch, be sure to check it out, The social commentary, naff fight scenes and common sense aphorsim spouted by Mr. Miyagi are superb. Having said that, and be honest, who didn't secretly want to be a member of the Kobra-Kai gym?
