Karate Kid timeline (expanded version)

Last year while deep in Karate Kid study I created a timeline of events. I felt important to do it again this year and review what I had done last year to check for errors. I still feel confident in my conclusions with respect to the timeline and this year have added the Arrival in Receda and other September dates.



1. September 10th - Arrival in Receda

2. September 11th - Beach Party, Daniel meets Ali, and Rumble on the Beach between Daniel and Johnny

3. September 12th - First day of school

4. September 13th - Soccer tryouts and the 2nd meeting between Daniel and Ali (I explored the possiblity of these events taking place a day earlier on the first day of school in my 9-13-11 posting.)



5. October 28th - Halloween Dance and Daniel's beating at the hands and feet of the Cobra Kai

6. October 29th - Trip to the Cobra Kai dojo to make peace, challenge set to settle things at the All Valley Tournament, and Daniel's training begins with Wax On Wax Off

7. October 31st - Take a Worm for a Walk Week, and Daniel asks Ali out on their first date



8. November 5th - Daniel and Ali's first date

9. November 11th - Daniel's second lesson, Sand the Floor

10. November 12th - Daniel catches the fly with a pair of chopsticks, and his training continues with Paint the Fence

11. November 13th - Daniel grows impatient after his fourth lesson, Paint the House. Mr. Miyagi lets him in on the secret that he as been learing karate the whole time.

12. November 14th - Daniel learns balance in the surf while we get our first look at the Crane Techinque

13. November 18th - Betrayal at Encino Hills, Daniel and Ali's second date crumbles.

14. November 19th - One month until the All Valley, Daniel begins branching out on his own with training.

(Numbers 13 and 14 could have occurred even a week or two later, there really isn't any evidence that ties these events to the 18th and 19th of November. We do know though that the betrayal at the country club took place on a Friday and Daniel went to Mr. Miyagi's house later that night. Daniel's branching out and training on his own could have started the next day since it was a Saturday but that is not known for sure. I chose to put these events on November 18th and 19th mostly because with the 19th it would mark exactly one month to go until the All Valley Tournament.)



15. December 18th - eve of the All Valley, Daniel and Ali make up at Golf n Stuff

16. December 19th - All Valley Tournament
