Saturday October 29th, 1983

A big day, actually maybe the most important single day of the entire film. Saturday October 29th we get the classic dojo scene where the challenge is set to settle things at the December 19th tournament. We also get the begining of Daniel's training with "wax on, wax off" later that day at Miyagi's house.

For some sampled audio from the dojo scene listen to Kaimbr's Track #6 - Body Bag.

Confrontation at the dojo



"There was a picture that was shot where I'm pointing in the dojo at Pat Morita and they classified it as Karate Kid in this Screen Writing magazine. Karate Kid was used as the ulitmate conflict between light and dark, between Pat and myself, between karate as I used it being a ofensive sport rather than Miyagi's defensive art." - Martin Kove (The Way of the Karate Kid: Part 1)
