Growing up during the 80's, the movie The Karate Kid certainly helped influence my desire to learn martial arts. I always dreamed of finding a master as wise and kind as Mr. Miyagi. I was lucky enough to find my Mr. Miyagi, so in honor of the new Karate Kid movie we're offering one free week of lessons to anyone who brings in their ticket stub from the new movie!
Karate Kid Movie Offer Valid Through July 11th, 2010.
The new Karate Kid movie is a retelling of the classic 80's movie. This updated ersion takes place in China as our hero learns the mystic arts of kung fu from none other than Jackie Chan himself. I'm definitely looking forward to this one!
In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
