Do you remember the big finish to the fight in the original Karate Kid movie?
Watch it below.

While a dramatic stunt to conclude the movie fight, it is patiently ridiculous to choose to use this in real life.
However a friend shared a clinic that Fred Villari (the Founder of the Shaolin Kempo Karate) taught this defensive kick as a rational defense against a knife attack. You might recognize Fred as he was the one that coined the name McDojo for the schools in his chain. He wanted to make his Kempo as popular as McDonald's was.

Truly his ego had no limits. However his uniform was very pretty.
I once visited one of his schools in Massachusetts and was told Green belts were promoted to Black Belt and moved to open new schools. I must say I was unimpressed at the instruction I saw.
