Cobra Kai made a HUGE mistake! 🥋

  • The real Miyagi Do karate style is NOT what you think! In season 2, Cobra Kai revealed a photo of Miyagi Chojun (the founder of Goju Ryu). It also appears in Season 3 trailer.
    But when I cross-compared the actual Karate movements demonstrated in both Cobra Kai and the old Karate Kid movies, there is only ONE karate style that makes sense. It came from White Crane Kung Fu in China to Okinawa - the birthplace of Karate - and made its way to Hollywood.
    Enjoy this Cobra Kai "conspiracy theory"!

    cobra kai is great entertainment. the competition at the end of season 1 was quite anti-climactic for me though. i get that the actors are very young and not really fighters, but the fight scenes in the season 1 ender looked super slo-mo.
    season 2 ender was much better. the actors seem to be able to keep up with the stunts and actions.

    I think it makes sense that the Goju Ryu taught to Daniel by Mr. Miyagi isn't the standardized form of Goju Ryu we know. Remember that in the movie Mr. Miyagi father was around during a time were the practitioners didn't formally establish the styles and also sometimes they got together and exchanged different techniques. Some lost in time some, some carried over but passed down to individual people but not formally incorporated. Just hunch.

    The role of Mr. Miyagi was inspired by Meitoku Yagi. Rob Kamen, who wrote the original Karate Kid movie, studied under him at one point. Rob's brother, Roy, recieved his black belt from Seikichi Toguchi. It was all based upon goju ryu, but at the end of the day, they are writing for the screen, and it's got to be entertaining.

    Maybe, as you said, parents find different senseis for their kids. Maybe Mr Myagi’s sensei really was Mabuni Kenwa, and Myagi Chojun is on the wall nor for being Mr Myagi’s sensei, but for being his father? Or, in the original movie Mr Myagi says that his father taught him his karate. So maybe Myagi Chojun was Mr Myagi’s official sensei, but really Mr Myagi teaches the karate that his father, Mabuni Kenwa, taught him. Or maybe they just made mistakes due to not researching things as deep as they should. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      It's also possible that their lineage started with the Miyagi family Goju, then at the second generation more Shito ryu or even other styles like Shotokan or Kobudo were added in Mr. Miyagi's own training, with Daniel-San making more refinements and additions of his own at the third generation, perhaps with more Chojin Miyagi emphasis.

    • @paulocuento9949

      perhaps if we buy into the conspiracy and the facts laid out for us... it is entirely possible that MR. Miyagi actually took lessons from both his sensei and his father. perhaps differences were blurred for the sake of MR. Miyagi being an unofficial master teaching in the US, a foreign soil.. therefore lineage was no longer necessary, only heritage was
      as far as real world examples go.. the history of brazilian jiujitsu, judo, and traditional jiujitsu somehow reminded me of such phenomenon

    The funny thing is that they initially wanted Fumio Demura to play Mr. Miyagi in the original film, even having him read for the part, but he didn't feel comfortable trying to act. This led the studio to first audition Toshiro Mifune for the part, but they thought his performance made the character too serious, so then they auditioned Pat Morita, who based his performance on Demura's mannerisms, with Demura staying on as a consultant and Morita's stunt double.

    Hi Sensei! Great video! I too am a HUGE Karate Kid fan and I've done a few episodes analyzing the movies and the show, recently I did an episode looking at the Katas, as well as working on an update to include the Kanku Dai you mentioned here as well as the Naihanchi Sam Dan in The Next Karate Kid.
    I DO believe they intended Miyagi Do to be Goju Ryu, too many clues hint towards it. The screenwriter, Robert Mark Kamen, is a student of Goju Ryu and based his Miyagi partially on his instructor, and named him after Chojun Miyagi. Also, in the Karate Kid Part 2...Chozen wears the Goju patch on his gi, and Chozen is a student of Sato, who learned Karate along with Miyagi from Mr. Miyagi's Father.
    Traditionally a father may not teach his sons, but Mr. Miyagi directly states that his father taught him.
    Now I too questioned the Kanku kata being in Goju Ryu, and hear me out here and tell me if this theory makes sense.
    Chojun Miyagi is from Naha...in the Karate Kid part 2, they make a point to have have Mr. Miyagi tell Daniel to find Naha on the map, and his village is next to it. Mr. Miyagi was born in 1925 (according to the headstone in Cobra Kai) but Goju Ryu officially founded in 1930. Since a lot of Karate in Okinawa is locally taught...would you agree that it's very possible that the Miyagi Family Karate was, as you suggested in this video and then when Chojun Miyagi (perhaps a fictional relative) developed his system of Gojy Ryu that Miyagi's Father would have adapted some of the teaching and passed that down to his son, Mr. Miyagi?
    This way it would make sense that Miyagi Do is primarily Goju Ryu (based on the patch) but with a mix of other Okinawan Karate.
    I'm curious to know what you think.

      Hello!! In Karate Kid Part 2, Mr. Miyagi did the final part of the Shisochin kata, when Daniel came to the dojo and saw Mr. Miyagi,
      I support what @art of one dojo says. Also when they visit the dojo in the city, Sato's nephew wears Goju Kai's fist logo (obviously we know that Goju Kai is the Japanese line that Master Gogen Yamaguchi continued after the death of sensei Chojun Miyagi), and when the storm broke that destroys the town, Sato's nephew wears his karategi and in his jacket he had the fist of the goju kai but the ideograms are not correct, says KARA TE. I am also struck by the design of the signboard of the Dojo de Sato, the shape it has is of positive and negative like the logo of the Goju Ryu IOGKF school, but it is fiction and as our friend @artofonedojo says that Robert Mark Kamen did Goju Ryu (I read that he practiced Goju Kai, maybe that's why I include the fist).

    Firstly, I love Cobra Kai! I think we can learn about was learned and what was taught from Sato Sensei too, apparently said to have the same Master as Miyagi Sensei. One focused on offence and the other defence...
    Also as we all do at some point, (for real karate anyway) we make a conscious decisions to work on elements of our style to enhance it for our own size, shape, flexibility and understanding.
    As a result Daniel only learned one side of the art, the side in which Mr Miyagi thought best to teach... maybe in his younger years he would have been more aggressive in his approach...
    Also Soto stayed in Okinawa, Miyagi left when he was a very young adult....
    I have never in my life met a Black belt who was 18 and understood Karate! To me that’s a fantasy given to promote clubs ££££
    Also a very good point Miyagi’s teacher his father kept only two rules in the family Dojo.
    1. Karate for defence only
    2. First learn rule number one.
    Is that because his father had not taught him rule number two?
    I believe series 3 will involve a time laps, one to show the recovery of Miguel and two to give Daniel time to learn what Miyagi did not after he left. Time for Daniel to learn rule number 2!!

      2.) First be of sound mind/heart.(先正其心) - sensei goshin or sensei sono kokoro.
      So rule 1 and 2 being stated as karate for defense only, rule number 2 "see rule number 1" is just basically just a English transliteration of the two

    "Fumio Demura (9th Dan black belt in Shito Ryu) was Pat Morita's martial arts stunt double in the first, third and fourth Karate Kid films. "
    [Wikipedia]
    He is also an expert in kobudo, so that explains the weaponry.
    Pat Johnson, a 9th degree black belt in American Tang Soo Doo, was involved in the choreography of the movie.

    Mr Miyagi said he was taught Karate by his father, but he doesn't say how much, perhaps he studied Gōjū-ryu under Chōjun Miyagi who is posibaly a relative and from his father learnt an older form on the side?

    Great video, Jesse! This reminds me of how I sound when I discuss martial art theory with my class mates every Friday over a round of drinks, haha! The karate nerd in me loves the detail in this explanation, but the realist in me thinks Netflix may have not even given it near as much thought. If I'm being honest, do you think they just placed it up there based on "Oh, Daniel's teacher was Mr. Miyagi and oh look, turns out there is also a real Chōjun Miyagi? Let's just place that picture up to show the family lineage." I wouldn't be surprised if that was as much thought that went into it but that's why there are people like you and the Karate Nerd community to keep them in check!

    Tatsuo Shimabuki learned under multiple instructors, to include Miyagi Chojun, Motobu Choki, Kyan Chotoku, and others, when creating his own style of Isshinryu. I think it is just as likely that Mr. Miyagi learned from multiple instructors to create his own style of Miyagi-do, but Danial only put of the photo of the style’s namesake (or simple didn’t know all of the influences which came into making it). I think you make good points, and it’s an interesting video, but not necessarily the flub you portray it as. But it is a fictitious world, so in the end, what does it really matter. 😁

    • @OGJamMasterW
      @OGJamMasterW 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Actually, Robert Mark Kamen is the screenwriter for Karate Kid and “the film is a semi-autobiographical story based on Kamen's life. In 1964 when Kamen was 17, he was beaten up by a gang of bullies after the 1964 New York World's Fair. He thus began to study martial arts in order to defend himself. Kamen was unhappy with his first teacher who taught martial arts as a tool for violence and revenge. So he moved on to study Okinawan Gōjū-ryū Karate under a teacher who did not speak English but himself was a student of Chōjun Miyagi.”

    When you get into the lineages of Okinawan Karate, you're getting into a quite dysfunctional family. Sorry for the linguistic imagery.......but it's true. Then when you include the Karate systems taken to Japan, and the changes made because of...well....bigotry.........it becomes 10 times worse. And that is an understatement! Thank you for researching these things, and placing videos here. I'm sure you're getting a lot of criticism from some "purists". Don't let it bother you. These people are those who are emotionally connected to their style.......much like an American Football fan is connected to their team. Logistics, facts, data, none of that matters more than the emotional connection to their team. But most of these people that I've spoken to, don't know their lineage past two or three instructors......and their word is "law". So shallow....so thank you again.

    Very good analysis! What's also intriguing is that if you keep in mind Mr. Miyagi's age, and the fact that the real-life Chojun Miyagi is an actual photographic portrait in Daniel's dojo, rather than a painted portrait like all the other Miyagi ancestors, it strongly suggests that the real-life Chojun Miyagi is actually Mr. Miyagi's father (or possibly grandfather). It's a blurring of reality and fiction...and it's so cool.

    The reason Chojun Miyagi's photo is on the wall is because the writer of the karate kid franchise Robert Mark Kamen studied under Chojun Miyagi and the story is loosely based on him. Because Master Fumio Demura was the stunt coordinator on all the karate kid films, that is where you see the Shito Ryu influence on the katas. We have done 6 years of research on the 2 documentaries that are our there. The Real Miyagi and More then Miyagi. Best of luck

    However, You're theory is shot down by Mister Miyagi himself in the very first film. When Daniel asks him about it, his answer is crystal clear: ''Father teach.''
    And in the second film, he explains to Daniel that he even asked his father to make an exception and ALSO teach to his best friend Sato although, in Okinawa, karate was handed down from father to son (according to... the script).
    Sorry... Your vid is still great though and so is Cobra Kai :)

    Something extra is also that there is a lot of different styles of Goju-Ryu and different sensei's and dojos teaches different variants. My son was doing Goju-Ryu where he did a different variant. They will not only learn the 13 Goju-Ryu katas, but included in their syllabus was 3 extra katas that he had to learn. He moved to a new Karate Dojo in the beginning of the year and there they do a totally different variant again. They do the 13 katas, but those katas also differ from the ones he already learned.

  • @luiz.ribeirinho
    @luiz.ribeirinho 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My humble opinion: first of all, Cobra Kai is just a TV show. It wouldn't surprise me to see a bunch of Karate techniques from different styles, mixed up just for entertainment sake. In Kyokushin, for example, we also have Seienchin and Kanku katas, with its slight differences from what is shown on Cobra Kai. Even the crane stance (Tsuru ashi dachi) and crane kick (tobi nidan mae geri) can be found in Kyokushin as well. And also, the first rule of Cobra Kai Karate (Strike First) is a complete and perfect opposition of one of my favorite rules on the Niju-Kun: "Karate ni sente nashi" (There is no first movement on Karate), which makes Cobra Kai a very well thought antagonist on the story.
    What really matters here, I believe, is how Cobra Kai is raising interest on Karate among people - which is my favorite outcome from all of it. :)

    Still logical. In the Karate kid alternate history, Miyagigi Chojun could have been Mr. Miyagi's father but since a father did not teach a son, he actually studied under Mabuni Kenwa hence why his style is different from his father's.
    The picture in the Dojo is actually a sentimental photo of his father , not of his teacher (since Miyagi is very sentimental about his family and keeps pictures of them around).
    Still would be logical sicne even if his style was different, he would stilll honor his father as a great martial artist.

    Your "conspiracy theory" is very likely the actual case and makes sense. I'm sure the writers didn't think this through to this deep level and just put up a real sensei named Miyagi. But it would make sense that considering their tradition of not teaching their own family, Miyagi wouldn't learn under his father but the other teacher.
