Synopsis

A martial arts coming-of-age movie and the first in The Karate Kid franchise

When Daniel and his mom relocate to Southern California, he becomes the target of bullying at his new school. He notices that his attackers all study karate at the Cobra Kai dojo, and Daniel vows to learn how to defend himself. But instead of training at the dojo, he is taken under the wing of Mr. Miyagi, a repairman who is secretly a martial arts master. Mr. Miyagi trains Daniel in the philosophy as well as the practice and gives the boy a chance to defeat his bullies at a karate tournament.
