Best Miyagi lesson ever.."Must not lose to fear!"
It's ok to lose to opponent, must not lose to fear. Indeed, a very valuable lesson :)
For u
You stay focused
💯
I was scared to go to a promising job interview to the point to where it was impacting my anxiety levels.
That line came to my head and I opened up my phone to rewatch the scene. I immediately felt strong and crushed the interview.
I'm happy to say that I got the job offer!
Daniel: Can you break the tree?
Mr Miyagi: Don't know. Never been attacked by a tree
LOL
Steve: lets fight
hahaha!
Wait did he actually say that?
@@dottiebeard1753 Yes, in Karate Kid 2 when they walk past the giant poster of Miyagi's rival breaking a tree log with his hand.
“Man who work for passion more rich than man who work for money”
Love this one
Ask mbappe
Only if you could pay your bills with passion instead of money
Especially if the guy working for passion also just happens to make more money than the guy who is working for the money but isn't very good at it.
@@ahmedmukhi7684 ONE day..... One day.
"For man with no forgiveness in heart, living worse punishment than death."
That's from part 2 i think this person only did part 1
I love that one though
That one may be relevant in Cobra kai season 5
Daniel Larrusso for the entirety of Cobra Kai
or because he didn't want to go to jail for the rest of his life.........isn't that more obvious?
I was a kid when these movies first came out and while I found them fun, I was too young to truly appreciate the wisdom they contained. Now as an adult of 41 years and watching the way the world is going, I see the fundamental wisdom of his words and wish more people knew and understood the same.
R.I.P. Pat Morita. Thank you for your lessons.
I had the same thought as a teen I only saw the girl he liked.
The 80's and 90's were the best times.. The world was so much better as far as how we all treated one another.
Yes, I agree with you on this. I'm 42 now and I made the same realization.
We're right with you brother
thank the writers instead, Pat Morita didn't even know karate
Even though Mr. Miyagi is a fictional character his wisdom is absolutely practical and timeless in a lot of ways by not only interjecting the ethical aspects of Human Nature, But also applying Humor and Practicality to almost any scenario, My Favorite Miyagi Moment is from the Second Movie where Him and Daniel see an advertisement of Sato breaking a Log and Daniel ascertains whether or not Mr. Miyagi can doIt as well, Mr. Miyagi perfectly replies “Don’t know, never been attacked by Tree.”
Lol
"Boards don't hit back." - Bruce Lee

That’s because these are Zen teachings. The movie is completley Inspired by Zen principles
Zen Masters have always been like this & Zen stories are timeless

Again these lines and stories are Zen teachings. Zen = Mahayana Buddhism

Driver license never replace eye, ear and brain. - Mr Miyagi
Thank you Sensei Miyagi San for teaching me how to not get a DUI

If were too simple, then you don’t get the basics
Miyagi Sama*
I like that: Things are replaceable but people aren't
Not miyagi san, Miyagi sensei :)
I could imagine Mr. Miyagi saying, “Do or do not. There is no try.”
He would bevall about trying, actually
I think his "guess so" quote is his version of that
Yep, Mr. Miyagi, Uncle Iroh and Master Oogway would have gotten along very well.
Don't forget Yoda. He would have fit in great with all of them.
And Master Splinter
I can see them all having tea together and discussing life and their philosophies.
P.S. Add Master Po from Kung Fu to the list.
@@danielhaire6677 I don't think po would really fit
@@bilalgeen656 Not the Panda, Master Po from the old TV series Kung Fu. Caine's old blind master.
"don't forget to breath, very important" Wisest of Miyagisms
"don't forget to breathe very important" is probably the best quote I think he said.
In his own unique way, Mr. Miagi never lied. Always love Mr. Miagi. Rest in heaven and much respect Pat Morita
Every single bit of wisdom miyagi says in this video just makes me realize how much of it Daniel doesn't follow
In some ways he does, Miyagi also said he needs to find his own way.
Best Miyagi Lesson
Daniel: Do you know how to sweep?
Mr. Miyagi: Offcourse.
Daniel: Would you mind showing me how?
Mr. Miyagi: You wait right here. I be right back.
*Comes back with a broom* 🧹
:D Yes that's the third part. Miyagi loves Daniel so much that he just shows him how to sweep. Classic Miyagi, taking things simple.
"Yes. I have relaxing cup of tea and get in bed."
I study Wado-kai karate. A sensei once told me the belt in karate is just your ego. Karate is in your head , in your heart. Karate is not in your belt
I wonder if your sensei was inspired by Mr. Miyagi's line. Did you ask him that?
My Great Uncle..
Actually Okinawan-American(and technically Mr. Miyagi as our Okinawan side is Miyashiro..same characters as Miyagi)...
When we asked him about his karate and what belt he was.. He laughed and said I don't have belt, I have this red shirt.
I’m doing Jiu Jitsu, and Mr. Miyagi has taught me many things about life, and the art of balance. Win or lose, no matter.
My jiu-jitsu instructor said to think about what you're going to learn, not when you get your next stripe or next belt. Think of yourself as always being a white belt.
It makes me think of a generation of boys who grew up without fathers.
Which is every generation and a huge part to why there is so much crap in this world. Either because of no father or bad father.
single mothers are felony factories... but that's what the west cranks out more of these days than anything else.
Remember in the third movie when Daniel asked him how to sweep and he pulled out a broom? That was pure comedy gold 🤣
Everyone needs a Mr. Miyagi in their life.
I love the video, but in my opinion the best Miyagi words of wisdom was left out. When they are on the fishing boat, Miyagi says "Why, fighting is fighting, same, same." Daniel says, "But you knew karate." Then Miyagi says one of the best, most correct lines ever (and not just about karate, but about anything in life)....."Someone else, always knows more."
Somone has to be best tho
for me, the bests lines are when miyagi says that war is just an horrible thing, and that we should always avoid conflict.
i just loove when he says "i hate figthing" is amazing... because this is pure... he is someone who had to fight to survive, and even so, hated it...
Vara Varala matchups make fights
Jeff Nelson
Thats a fascinating dialogue but I bet you didn’t understand the concept.
@@effortlessawareness8778 yes, I did understand the concept, moron. Dont assume to think people dont understand things.
“Don’t forget to breathe very important.”
If you cannot control your breath you will never have control over oneself. 🙏🏼
Indeed. More directly, however, is creep Terry Silver's teaching in KK3 that "A man that can not breath can not fight."
He teaches a good moral and also to inspire the people
It’s ok to lose to opponent, but you must never lose to fear
The best defense:
“No be there” - Mr. Miyagi
The more I watch KK the more I am convinced "The Force" is a part of it.
“This say you brave” (points at the heart)
“This say you lucky” (points at the medal)
Mr Miyagi was a very strong role model to many people of all type ages
Julie Pierce: "Wow Mr. Miyagi! I wish I had your courage!"
Miyagi: "And I wish I had chocolate bar with almonds."
Best quote ever. Daniel Son best defense NO BE THERE 😁
You saw Season 4 didn’t you 😂😂
@@koolaiddudeawesome9850
Yep best scene after Daniel has fought all the hockey players. And Johhny turns up munching a pastry. And Daniel asks "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU". And he replies "NO BE THERE". Classic.
Did he say it in the movie..I don't remember
As a kid I watched these movies because I had a crush on Ralph Macchio. As an adult I watch these movies to glean the wisdom from Mr. Miyagi."Must not lose to fear" has helped me many a time
“Walk on left side, safe. Walk on right side, safe. Walk in middle, sooner or later, squish just like grape” do you know who else said this quote? Freaking master Yoda!
No way 😂. Do you know where I can see him say that
@@daytonsupebedia3468 "Do. Or do not. There is no try."
@@themessenger2948 I always thought yoda meant by that SUCCEED or don't do it, not just put all your effort into it
I used a Mr.Miyagi quote the other day and it stopped me from getting myself into trouble. Mr.Miyagi said once if you don't know where the road your traveling goes then best to stay home.
Wish I had a wise Japanese father could've avoided a lot of head aches 😞.
Need a wise old man who knows how to fight in my life 😭
@@xakirax_8864 avoid fights
@@xakirax_8864 no be there
Why you not doctor yet?
A? Not A+? You disappoint your ancestors.
When he said that there are no bad students, only bad teachers, that hit me because growing up I had the worst teachers in the world.
Never put passion before principles
Even if win..you lose
All life, have a balance. Everything will be better. Saved the best one for last
Honor to Mr Miyagi!!
HAI SENSEI!! :-)
Every time they show Mr Miyagi on Cobra Kai it hits me.
One of my favorite funny ones was right after he rocks the boat and knocks Daniel into the water. Then he points and laughs and yells "Daniel-san, you all wet behind ear!"
Daniel: Its over! I'm afraid!
Mr. Miyagi: Its okay to lose to opponent. Must not to lose to fear!"
I know this quote wasn't in the video but my fav Miyagi quote which still speaks to me every day:
"Daniel-san, never put passion before principle. Even if win . . . . you lose."
WHAT I LEARNT: He's talking about compromising an invaluable part of one's self. A tradeoff to one's own detriment.
QUOTE CONTEXT: Mr Miyagi was recalling when he was 18, he had broken tradition and dishonoured his best friend Sato by marrying a girl he loved Yuki who Sato was arranged to marry. Sato challenged Miyagi to a fight to regain his honour.
PRINCIPLE: Miyagi didn't believe in fighting, or that violence, (possibly being killed) would solve the conflict. Rather than restoration, it would make matters worse by harbouring animosity and perpetuating future cycles of violence. Miyagi was taught to only use violence (Karate) in defence and as an absolute last resort, which he eventually agreed to when Sato threatened to destroy their village and sell the land if he didn't.
Growing up Mr Miyagi fondly remembered the good memories of his childhood with Sato, a highly valued relationship.
Mr Miyagi's actions, however, put him in a moral dilemma.
He's forced to choose between his love for Yuki (PASSION) and its consequences which would result in a violent and possibly deadly confrontation with Sato, OR stay true to his (PRINCIPLE) of no fighting which due to Sato not being able to be reasoned with caused Miyagi reluctantly made the very difficult decision to leave Okinawa believing it to be the better of two evils.
Principles are truth statements, and truth ties us to reality. We all build our lives on truth (principles), they inform our actions and help shape our worldviews.
Passion, however, is an innate drive within that feeds on the specific desires of a person. (Good or bad)
Passion should never be allowed unimpeded free reign over principle but must always be submissive to it.
Allowing one's emotions alone to influence judgment and dictate actions, making decisions and acting in the heat of the moment is a disaster waiting to happen.
If you allow passion to jeopardize principle (Truth) you risk undermining your own foundations. The two must work in unison.
This was one of the best ones. Ballance and principles/honor are the most important things imho.
I’m glad someone brought up this one, this quote plays in my head constantly everytime I feel I need to make a decision regarding passion vs principle.
Am I making this decision because it benefits me? Or am I making this decision because it’s the right thing to do.
@@wylie4637 Yeah. Then when we do violate our conscience with what we know we should do vs what we want to do, we often get a false sense of pleasure because there is sometimes no immediate consequence. But one way or another we pay the piper eventually for our choices in delayed or unforeseen and unintended ways.

Yep, his wisdom is right up there along with Yoda & Splinter.
Spoken true from A Wise Man.
Very strong words from a wise man 🥢🇯🇵🏯🟠🌳
Never put passion before principle.
One of my favourite Miyagi philosophies. - Have tea, feel better.
"If Come from inside you, Always Right one"
I get a miyagasm every time I hear a miyagism.
Thank you, Mr. Miyagi. Life is balance.
I also Need A Sensei Like
Mr Miyagi 😭❤️
The best Miyagism isn't shown in this video. It's the scene where Daniel and him first walk into the all valley tournament competition area. Upon entering, Daniel asks Mr. Miyagi where to go. Mr. Miyagi says something like "First time you first time me!" Daniel then says something like "Oh great, any other advice?". Mr. Miyagi replies "Don't get hit!". Maybe it's not the best Miyagism, but it's sound advice for a karate tournament newbie 👌
I would say that there isn't a best Miyagism. All of them are important and can lead you to a more balanced life. The scene that you reminded is indeed very good, showing how spontaneous he is
I love them all
1000 years of knowledge i just soaked in
excellent
My fav "the sun is warm and the grass is green"
Right, I'm off to watch the Karate Kid trilogy......
Ehh for me only the first 2 count... the 3rd one was garbage...
It's Mr Miyagi appreciation day today
Greatest movie ever...
. Man who work for passion always richer than man who work for money
"Don't you have anything to tell me" "Hai. No get hit".
Thank you Mr Miyagi RIP 🪦 ♥️
How do you miss someone you've never met? That's how I'm feeling right now watching this after watching Cobra Kai.
Who teared up watching this
miss him......
1:31 So, that's why he won the tournament.
How I wish I had a Mr Miyagi in my life while growing up
2:23 Johnny - “Well bigger is better.”
This man was in the 442nd . He's the coolest badass i ever know
for those of us not having buds in our ears volume please?
Rest in peace Mr Miyagi.
I’m mr miyagi and I approve of this message
Never make a decision on an empty stomach......I’m disappointed you haven’t added that😪
This is the Miyagi do Way
Mr. Miyagi reminds me of my dad. My dad would say no money no honey.
Wish they would make Mr. Miyagi a playable Mortal Kombat character.
2:50 who else came here after watching episode 5 of Cobra Kai?
I watched the series 5 times already, so ..... yes, I'm watching this after watching episode 5 :3
RCBM Mines I did
The what 5 of Cobra what?
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
If you want more go look up zen, daoism and buddhism.
+ Hinduism
Nice Video
Imagine if he was still alive for the Cobra Kai series
Would be amazing. I just watched Karate Kid 1-3 again. Is Cobra Kai good? Tbh .. it looks to me like they show Johnny as if he hasn't learned anything about karate after all these years leaving the Cobra Kai.
@@LukeDallert Cobra kai is a good and enjoyable show. As a person who also watched the KK films, I enjoyed the series a little more because I knew all the references/flashbacks the show has thrown so far and this show actually does references/flashbacks pretty great. Also, each season seems to be better than the last season in my opinion. I can't wait for season 4.
TL;DR: If you enjoyed the Karate Kid films, then you will enjoy Cobra kai.
@@thelastwolffe2167 Ok thanks man, if you say so I will give it a try 💪🤛
@@LukeDallert Cobra Kai is amazing and it makes the trilogy even better to watch
@@j.jonahjameson5729 I do enjoy Cobra Kai. I watched 3 seasons and the new season just came out. I like the idea that some characters understanding of karate gets challenged by different interpretation of it although it as kind of similar to Karate Kid III. Thanks for recommending it.. it often makes my evening :)
Mr. Miyagi is up there with Mr. Rogers
Well, he was a swell old fella, but winning and losing do indeed matter, in a variety of ways.
Smell bad, heal good.
the best teachers we ever had in the 80s: Mr Miyagi and Master Yoda!
who else taught karate in okinawa? It's weird because Miyago-do karate came from one of hia ancestors who was fishing, fell asleep and woke up off the coast of China and learned it there, but karate comes from Okinawa, not China, but is inspired by Chinese martial arts like Kung-fu. He also says is ancestor invented, added the term kara meaning open to the word te meaning karate.
ZEN MASTER MIYAGI
i love this. ty
0:25 Cobra Kai season 2 Daniel needs that flashback
To soon
@@MaliceGaming your right
Daniel did mention it in season 3 of Cobra Kai
Man who squats max after eating Mexican dinner will have a very bad time
Little did they know when they fist met they'd become best friends. Just got Netflix last year around Christmas & watched all the Cobra Kai seasons so far. I know he would of probably been way to old but it would of been nice if Pat Morita got to paly Mr. Miyagi in @ least one appearance.
The last quote in The Next Karate Kid, Fighting never good, but if must fight; WIN! Mr. Miyagi forever
The one inch quote was surely inspired by Bruce Lee's legendary one inch punch.
If Daniel-san had remembered most of these lessons - especially the one about fighting being the last answer to a problem - then Cobra Kai would have been a very short series xD
In cobra Kai Daniel learned to keep his mouth shut completely when not speaking
Listen good little
Pada one
The answers to the current cobra kai problems are all in this video.

Mr. Miyagi smoked some great weed.
Best way to win fight, No be there.
I didn't get the "we lose no matter"
"Win, Lose, No Matter. You make good fight, earn respect, then nobody bother."
Can you believe Netflix has Cobra Kai, but when you type "Karate Kid" in search you get none of the Mr. Miyagi movies?
