A community portal about Karate with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Karate is a martial art of Ryūkyūan origin. The word "karate" comes from kara, meaning empty, and te meaning hand. Karate has a rich and diverse history of development, incorporating countless influences from other martial arts and cultures. Today, karate is known primarily as a hard style striking art, featuring linear punches, blocks, kicks, knee/elbow strikes and open handed techniques. However, soft style punches and blocks, grappling, joint manipulations, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point striking are often an inherent part of many karate styles.
A third-degree black belt in American Karate, with experience in five other martial arts, assessed the NES' Kung Fu and Karate Champ to determine which 2D 8-bit game most accurately presents its eponymous fighting style. Multiplayergames got the real-life karate master, John, to look at the titles - both ports of Data East classics that took about $100 from me over the summer of 1985. Here's his report on Kung Fu: "[S]ome of the goons...
The moment has finally come! The legendary Jackie Chan has stepped up to fill the shoes of everyone’s favorite mentor Mr. Miyagi in the Columbia Pictures remake of “The Karate Kid.” Chan will team up with up and coming actor Jaden Smith in the remake of the wax on wax off phenomenon.
Keeping the overall plot [...]
“The only way to stop them is to face them” - Jackie Chan talking to Jaden Smith about Hollywood remakes his Chinese bullies.
In this remake of The Karate Kid, the drama has shifted from Los Angeles to Beijing, chopsticks have been coupled with a fly swatter and “wax on, wax off” has been replaced with “pick up your jacket.” Otherwise, I think the story’s pretty much about the same…? (I’ll let you decide whether that’s a good thing or...
Consider me shocked that The Karate Kid remake starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan actually looks like it may be a fun film. We've covered the film over the past year with increasing trepidation --- especially when the studio decided to stick with the Karate Kid title instead of The Kung Fu Kid. But now we have the first trailer for the film, and somehow my first response isn't to burn it at the stake.
The trailer begins with Smith's...
Fans of the 1984 "Karate Kid" movie have more than five months to wait until Jackie Chan's remake hits theaters, but Columbia Pictures released the first preview this week.
"The Karate Kid" remake stars Jaden Smith - the 11-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith - in Ralph Macchio's old role.
Chan [...]
Come join me in watching Will Smith’s son Jaden and Jackie Chan in The Karate Kid remake, won’t you? Forget that it’s set in China and karate is a Japanese martial art and that the karate in this movie was changed to kung fu yet the title still remains The Karate Kid. Also, forget that ...
The Karate Kid remake won't head into theaters until next summer, but its first trailer is now online. At one point titled The Kung-Fu Kid (and before even that titled The Karate Kid), the remake has the "kid" (Jaden Smith) and his mother (Taraji P. Henson) move to Beijing instead of Reseda, and kung-fu will be the taught by Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) instead of karate by Mr. Miyagi (the late Pat Morita). Other than that, it seems like the remake...
Who can forget the karate training of Mr. Miyagi in the 1984 Karate Kid movie? Although I enjoyed the movie , I did not warm up to the lead character called Daniel Larusso, played by Ralph Macchio, as he was just so annoying with his squeaky voice . I guess the movie director casting Ralph [...]

The original Karate Kid became a major pop-culture phenomenon. Star Pat Morita even snagged an Oscar nod.
The Karate Kid is a misnomer. There I said it. I honestly cannot see how this film is a remake of the original 80’s The Karate Kid, starring the late Pat Morita, Ralph Macchio and Elizabeth Shue.
Besides the remake controversy, I love Jackie Chan in this trailer and I think he’s found a role that gives [...]

We've been dreading the arrival of The Karate Kid movie ever since the project was first announced last year. It's not that we're wholesale opposed to remakes, but in the case of the 1984 John Avildsen film, it's near impossible to find any ways that one could improve the story. However, not much gets in the way of Hollywood studios looking to make a buck, especially when they can earn the loyalty of the biggest box-office star in the...
The cool thing about being a ridiculously wealthy celebrity is that if you like a movie, you can just put your kid in it, like movie karaoke. On that note, here’s the first trailer for Jaden Smith/Jackie Chan’s THE Karate Kid (the ‘The’ is very important),
