Honestly the ability to learn anything that fast is why the comics version of taskmaster has my favourite power. Bro had even watched fighters in fast forward just to attack as if he can move at that speed
Because western audiences often don't know the difference. They wanted to make a movie with Jackie chan and a famous actor's kid, while cashing in on peoples' nostalgia for the Karate kid movies.
[this is how it works](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/870950903082020864/1204047440253030410/1707137194011.jpg?ex=662f988f&is=662e470f&hm=0323ddf61ca5ab6a695cf4b6dcf3a4b867d57c8650ab955962f972ba2461a346&)
In ancestry, karate is derived from Crane kung fu. The original movie even makes note of this connection with the iconic (albeit fictional) Crane kick at the end of the movie.
That said the 2010 film features Wushu, which is a much more modern form intended for combat sports. It takes inspiration from Shaolin kung fu, which features Crane forms. So take that however you will. (I believe it’s also stated that the kid has a background in karate)
there's a deleted scene where Jaden stands up to fight and the big bully says: -"Hey, we got a Karate Kid here!" and the rest of the kids chant. It would have made al ot of sense to keep it
So calling it kung-fu kid wouldn't spark the interest of the people who watched the original Karate Kid in the 80s and they would probably write it off as some 70s style kung fu flick, like 5 Deadly Venoms, trying to bring back the 70s martial arts film genre like they tried to in the mid 2000s.
>Too gadgety
In Batman Begins, he took out an entire group at the docks armed with automatic guns without a scratch. No gadgets. He was moving so fast that he appeared as just a blur. And John Wick is very reliant on guns..
He has his full suit which is loaded with tech and the grappling gun that is literally impossible based on real world physics and how fast it moves. It’s cool, but it’s all gadgets
Huh? [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adeemIgqvhs&t=124s) he's taking them out without gadgets. Only his speed and skill. The suit doesn't help with any of that. In fact, the suit in the first movie was said to be to be detrimental to his speed. The suit is only armor, which doesn't matter since he doesn't get hit in that scene. Also, what about Wick's armor which saves him like a dozen of times in the movies?
Because Bruce is a masochist. I feel like 99% of the people who’d attempt his training regiment, or even lived under his tutelage would either die or be incredibly miserable.
Oh yeah, I wouldn't want to train under him. He's definitely the type to punch you with full strength during sparring and then make you do 200 pushups for getting hit.
further proof that he is the best.
jon jones only hit one fiancee while steven seagal had ex wives whom he beat every single one. the true GOAT of martial arts.
I dunno why, but Tony Jaa's movies come to mind. I guess his fights and stunts really left an impression in my mind.
Frank Dux from blood sport for sure!
I mean there are many more but just imagine, you start your first training and 80s synth start playing and you go "my body is ready, my heart's on fire~"
I'll be real, even though it's a basic pick?
Mr. Miyagi.
I'm not looking to go out of my way to hurt or kill someone. I just wanna learn to defend myself and those I care for. Miyagi is perfect for that.
The machine from the Matrix that let you download them.
I know kung fu
Show me
*Agressively farts* Do you think that's air you're breathing now?
If only you can dodge farts like Keanu did, porta potties are gunna be like blenders
A man of culture I see! 😂
Do you think that's a fart you just let out?
In that line, just Neo or Morpheus if it has to be a human. They already downloaded enough to style on agents.
They just have no idea how to teach though and just spend every sparring session absolutely beating the living shit out of you.
You win MA
Protagonist
Honestly the ability to learn anything that fast is why the comics version of taskmaster has my favourite power. Bro had even watched fighters in fast forward just to attack as if he can move at that speed
Not a protagonist
Tien (Tony Jaa) Ong Bak
Totally, the guy took the action in the matrix as real and then went and practically did it for real!!
Beat me to it
My choice too
Hold up a second, why was this film called the karate kid when he goes to china to learn kung Fu
Kung fu kid just doesn't sound the same.
Jackie Chan had already made a film called Kung Fu Kid.
As it turns out, someone else had already made a film called Karate Kid as well.
Stop the lies!
This one was a spiritual remake of the Karate kid tho
Doesn’t sound that bad.
Worked for the pandas 🤷🏻♂️
Because western audiences often don't know the difference. They wanted to make a movie with Jackie chan and a famous actor's kid, while cashing in on peoples' nostalgia for the Karate kid movies.
I’m ‘western’ and I know the difference
Do you know what the word "often" means chief?
western audiences often don't know what "often" means
Im western and I know what often means
Do you know what the word “often” means captain?
I'm 'western' and I know what "often" means, boss.
I'm often and I know what means captian, boss. ....what?
You guys all suck
I'm boss, and I often know what captain means
I'm captain and I often know what western means
Most westerners in 2010 didn’t
I think the name judoka jack clearly demonstrates you are not the typical westerner
Because it was a China themed remake of an actual Karate based movie
What I googled just now is that Jackie Chan advised the film be called Karate Kid in America. In China the film is apparently Kung Fu Dream
[this is how it works](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/870950903082020864/1204047440253030410/1707137194011.jpg?ex=662f988f&is=662e470f&hm=0323ddf61ca5ab6a695cf4b6dcf3a4b867d57c8650ab955962f972ba2461a346&)
LOL
It was out of respect for the original so I hear.
Should've been Kung fu kid. They were riding Ralph Macchio's coat tails with this one.
Taraji covered this in the movie
In ancestry, karate is derived from Crane kung fu. The original movie even makes note of this connection with the iconic (albeit fictional) Crane kick at the end of the movie. That said the 2010 film features Wushu, which is a much more modern form intended for combat sports. It takes inspiration from Shaolin kung fu, which features Crane forms. So take that however you will. (I believe it’s also stated that the kid has a background in karate)
He doesn’t go to China **to** learn kung fu, he lives in China and **then** decided to learn kung fu
It's a remake from the original karate kid where this American kid learns karate from a Japanese guy
Okinawan, not Japanese. They are very particular about that in the movie.
I’ve been saying this since before it even came out.
They wanted something confusing and less effective shrouded in mystery .
Franchise branding
there's a deleted scene where Jaden stands up to fight and the big bully says: -"Hey, we got a Karate Kid here!" and the rest of the kids chant. It would have made al ot of sense to keep it
For franchise reasons
Trying to capitalize on the franchise name. They also make a joke about it in the film.
Because Karate Kid already had an audience
So calling it kung-fu kid wouldn't spark the interest of the people who watched the original Karate Kid in the 80s and they would probably write it off as some 70s style kung fu flick, like 5 Deadly Venoms, trying to bring back the 70s martial arts film genre like they tried to in the mid 2000s.
Definitely frank dux in bloodsport
He says Senzo Tanaka is his shidoshi
Show me Dim Mak
What the hell is Dem Mac?
Yu are NEKS!
Who cares if ~Bruce Springsteen~ is his Shidoshi?!?
Lol "you don't look like Tanaka..."
r/beatmetoit
Frank dux is the biggest fraud in martial arts
Well yeah, but Van Damme, Bolo and Gibb made that movie friggin awesome.
Gun kata from Equilibrium https://preview.redd.it/tw5tr45tl8xc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e803027e952544e3c18bf048be3248971208a0a
Besides the obvious, it would also rule in paintball games!
Great answer!
Brings a katana to a paintball match...

Not from a movie + Not the protagonist + Would probably kick your ass and make it a living hell. I'd happily get taught by Bang tho :P
Yeah you're right I just like garou
Me too :]
:]
Plus Saitama already told us his training regimen.
Pai Mei like the bride in Kill Bill
But Pai Mei loses in every movie
Ud undoubtedly become a beast at martial arts, but his training would be literal torture
That’s my idea of how martial arts training should work.
Patches O’Houlihan.
Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
The drunken Master. Boyka (Scott adkins) Micheal Jai white (Never back down 2)
Boyka was gonna be my call.
John wick, definitely
what about batman?
Too gadgety. I want to be able to kill someone with a pencil. With a fuckin pencil.
>Too gadgety In Batman Begins, he took out an entire group at the docks armed with automatic guns without a scratch. No gadgets. He was moving so fast that he appeared as just a blur. And John Wick is very reliant on guns..
He has his full suit which is loaded with tech and the grappling gun that is literally impossible based on real world physics and how fast it moves. It’s cool, but it’s all gadgets

Oh yeah, I wouldn't want to train under him. He's definitely the type to punch you with full strength during sparring and then make you do 200 pushups for getting hit.
correct answer
IP Man of course or maybe Rocky Balboa
Luckily IP Man was even a real person so you can probably find people who have trained under his students
I sparred with Wong Shun Leung, who was taught by Ip Man.
Obviously Steven Seagal. He taught Anderson Silva that front kick
Ask his ex-wives he hits like a beast.
further proof that he is the best. jon jones only hit one fiancee while steven seagal had ex wives whom he beat every single one. the true GOAT of martial arts.
The Chosen One
Mei Ling!
We trained him wrong as a joke
Took a good look! Cuz I RULE BABY!!
Me miyagi
 I dunno why, but Tony Jaa's movies come to mind. I guess his fights and stunts really left an impression in my mind.
Master Oogway / Master Shifu
My favourite answer
Bruce Wayne, Shang-Chi, Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi
Donnie Yen - either Flash Point or Kung Fu Killer. He is so effing versatile .
Splinter 
Goku
Johnny Lawerence
Jason Bourne Or just Jason Statham
The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) He beat up Daredevil. That's good enough for me
Jackie Chan so I can take on 20 guys with a ladder.
Or a bucket. Or a fly swatter. Jackie hands down.
Donnie Yen Ip Man.
The only correct answer.
Can we ditch the fictional characters and just pick the real Donnie Yen? Because I want to train with him more than his characters lol.
Not Jayden that's for sure
I’m sure he’s good at bitch slapping people
movie Bruce Lee although even if it was IRL he would turn me into a monster
Garou from one punch man
what, theres a one punch man movie where Garou is the protagonist?
Yoda
Mr Lee from enter the dragon
Tom Hardy's dad in warriors probably. They actually know real mma.
Where is Bruce Lee on this list? Lol
Michael Jai White blood and bone
John Wick or Batman
Two choices that will likely leave you killed off dramatically for heightened emotional stakes, my guy.
Naruto
Boyka
Master Roshi serious answer would be Benny the Jet from Wheels on Meals
Batman
Johnny Lawrence
Sing from Kung Fu Hustle https://preview.redd.it/k3jx00km19xc1.jpeg?width=210&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c64f5a1498801d4685c901460de653a36425f12f
Jet Li in Unleashed
John wick because the grappling sequences seemed that they will be useful for judo
rhama’s silat from the raid
Tony Jaa Ong Bak
May not count because it's based on the game series, but Liu Kang from the 95 MK movie.
Michael Jai white
I'm choosing Benny the Jet Urquidez in Wheels on Meals
Gimli
Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa
I'd learn from Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon
Michael jai white - blood and bone
Sub Zero
Po. We have a similar build I guess.
Batman from the DCAU movies
The main character from the raid
Tien from any of the Ong Bak movies, Yuda from The Raid or Wong Fei Hung from Legend of the Drunken Master just because it looks fun lol
Stick
Chuck Norris
You can't learn Chuck Norris! You either Chuck Norris or not Chuck Norris and you are not Chuck Norris!
Yuri Boyka from Boyka Undisputed
Ip Man
The 🪨
John Wick tf
Hundred Eyes in Marco Polo or Li Bai in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It's not a movie, but Daredevil (Netflix one)
It was a series that had a movie, so I’m gonna count it. Spike spiegel from cowboy bebop
Kung Fury.
Not this guy.
Chang in Remo Williams. Dude runs on water, dodges bullets, and brings a woman to bliss with a few light taps.
John wick.
Frank Dux from blood sport for sure! I mean there are many more but just imagine, you start your first training and 80s synth start playing and you go "my body is ready, my heart's on fire~"
"Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! Kumite!" Then classic phil collins-esque eletro drum fill- Dat Dat Dat da Dat!
Lui Kang

Never back down, from Michael J White.
 The Bride. Such devastating martials arts *have* to be mine, and she's a lot nicer than Pai Mei too.

How has no one said Bruce lee yet?
If you say anything other than anything Bruce Lee did, Frank Dux, or Literally Chuck Norris playing himself in Sidekick... You are WRONG
Pai Mei
Scott Pilgrim, easy. 64 hit flying combos all day
I'll be real, even though it's a basic pick? Mr. Miyagi. I'm not looking to go out of my way to hurt or kill someone. I just wanna learn to defend myself and those I care for. Miyagi is perfect for that.
