Karate Kids Legends

You do NOT need to know *any* Japanese to benefit from this DVD.

Over 300 video clips are easily accessed via 37 menu cards. The menu is broken down into Kyu grades (from white belt to black) and then into Basics, Kata and Sparring, all the techniques a student will need to demonstrate.

* The menus are all in English, though as Karate originates from Japan, the names of the routines (Kata) and counting (1, 2 ,3 etc) is often done in Japanese, hence this has been recorded as the official DVD language.

Daniel and his mother move from New Jersey to California. She has a wonderful new job, but Daniel quickly discovers that a dark haired Italian boy with a Jersey accent doesn't fit into the blond surfer crowd. Daniel manages to talk his way out of some fights, but he is finally cornered by several who belong to the same karate school. As Daniel is passing out from the beating he sees Miyagi, the elderly gardener leaps into the fray and save him by outfighting half a dozen teenagers. Miyagi and Daniel soon find out the real motivator behind the boys' violent attitude in the form of their karate teacher. Miyagi promises to teach Daniel karate and arranges a fight at the all-valley tournament some months off. When his training begins, Daniel doesn't understand what he is being shown. Miyagi seems more interested in having Daniel paint fences and wax cars than teaching him Karate.
