The karate movie I love and would recommend to every Steemian is the karate kid. Is a movie about a young Lad named Danie LaRusso(Jaden Smith). He moved to a new town and encountered bully from a group of students. As the bully persists, he decided to find an end to it and that was how he encountered Miyagi(Jackin Chan) a skilled Karate master who mentored him. Through consistent training, he developed strong karate skills and conquered his bully.

Some of the lessons learnt from the movie includes.

Daniel was determined to challenge his obstacles and he perservaed to the end.

• Patience and Discipline

Daniel learnt from his mentor Mr Miyagi that karate isn't only about kicking but it also involves practice and dedication.
