More examples of how the book differs from the movie.
Daniel's punching lesson comes the same day he and Mr. Miyagi go to the lake where Daniel practices his balance, (the whole scene taking place after the country club scene) but his punching lesson comes at Mr. Miyagi's house.
So confusing.
Chapter 22, page 96
That afternoon Daniel sat at the oars of a rowboat on a lake with Mr. Miyagi. No mention was made of the scene at Mr. Miyagi's on Friday night. It was as if it had never happened. But it had.
"Stop. Stand. Bow," commanded the old man.
Carefully, Daniel lay down the oars and stood, bowing courteously.
"Not bow. Bow," said Mr. Miyagi, pointing to the front of the boat.

"When am I going to learn to punch?" he asked.
In response, Mr. Miyagi began to rock the boat, breaking Daniel's rhythm and tipping him. Unceremoniously, Daniel landed, shoulder first, in the cold water. When he emerged, sputtering, Mr. Miyagi answered his question.
"When learn keep dry," he said wryly, and helped Daniel climb back into the boat.

"Why train then?" the old man challenged.
"So I won't have to fight."
Mr. Miyagi smiles broadly, obviously proud of Daniel's growing wisdom.
"Hope for you yet," he complimented. "Come, row."
"Where to?" asked Daniel, obeying.
"Ready to learn punch."

Chapter 23, page 99
"One inch," said Mr. Miyagi, standing on the new deck of his house. "Secret of punch is to make whole power of body fit into one inch."
"Oh yeah?" said Daniel, laughing at the idea. "Which inch?"
In a split second, Mr. Miyagi's fist came into Daniel's vision, powered by the awesome energy of the old man's body. The fist stopped as suddenly as it had started, a hair's breadth from Daniel's nose. Mr. Miyagi pointed to his first two knuckles.
"This inch."
Daniel understood.

Name of ninja who saved woman's life made public
Man in critical condition after being stabbed with throwing star
(by Jared Page deseretnews.com 8-5-12)
SALT LAKE CITY — Police are searching for a transient involved in the stabbing of a Salt Lake City man early Sunday morning.
Police were called about 2 a.m. to an apartment complex near 700 North and 900 West, where a husband and wife had been arguing, said Salt Lake City Police Lt. Scott White.
The argument started inside the couple's apartment but later moved into the parking lot of the complex, White said. At some point during the fight, the husband choked the wife, he said.
A transient who spends time in the area and is known to the couple got involved in the fight and ended up stabbing the husband in the neck with Chinese throwing star, White said.
"We don't know whether (the transient) threw it at (the husband) or if he used it (like a knife) to cut him in the neck," he said.
The man was taken to Intermountain Medical Center in critical condition, White said.
Police were still searching Sunday for a transient known as "Strange" in connection with the incident.
(I highly doubt the man is a "transient". A crucial ninja skill is the ability to blend into your surroundings, this ninja was simply looking the part of someone who would be hanging out near 700 N. 900 W in Salt Lake City. Well done ninja, well done.)
