I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, in the 70s and 80s. I remember when this kid — who nobody thought could even make the final, much less win — in the All Valley Karate Championship.
It was a really big deal. They made a movie about it.
I can’t believe that was forty years ago, yesterday.
If do right, no can defense.
BTW just read the Star Trek: Coda books and loved the huge part Wesley had in the.
Wait–was it a true story? I mean obviously heavily fictionalized, but wow! Cool!
Dude. We are old.
Yeah. What he said. ☝️
That kid was the best around. Was never got let them get him down, either.
I feel like this movie captured my imagination in such a way. I still love Kung Fu Movies to this day. I need to rewatch it with my kids ASAP! Thanks for the post, to help me remember 😀
Oh wow I remember Ralph Macchio as the Karate Kid
It has been a very long time. People say life is short, but when I think of my 43 years, I’ve lived multiple lifetimes with so many chapters.
