      About redemption: Thought for a possible future scenario of Cobra Kai: Since Miguel and Hawk are All Valley Champs now, Robby will end like Daniel in 1985, in a life and death fight. And when he is almost death, like Sato, Yuki and Miyagi stood there back in the day, this time Chozen, Kumiko and Daniel would stand there, Daniel and Chozen with the drum in their hands, giving Robby his final instruction how to survive. This would be the ultimate redemption for Chozen, and it would be simply such a fantastic thing if a technique from Miyagi-Do Karate saves the life of Johnny Lawrence s son years later. And the drum technique wasnt used in Cobra Kai yet, maybe there is a reason for and they saved it for later.

    One of my favorite parts of this is, that even after being "humiliated", the first thing Daniel does, when realizing he DOESN'T know ALL of Miyagi-Do Karate, is to ask his old enemy if he will teach him. The level of respect and willingness not just to learn, but realize you don't know everything is just great. It really says a lot about Daniels character. He is a true student of Miyagi-Do, and as soon as he finds out there is more to learn, he is willing to be taught, even by Chozen.

      @@michaelbull4344 In several cases over the course of the show, Daniel showed nothing but sheer ignorance and disapproval on different takes of karate, even Cobra Kai and Eagle Fang. He ever got pass through all that just by accepting that he could learn better outside of Miyagi Do because he shattered his own ego to let the students learn both styles. Not really saying Daniel isn't humble, he just needs to learn to be in someone's shoes and use that to get even stronger. Going towards Season 5, he has improved on an unrivaled level by using both Miyagi Do and Silver's Quicksilver method, as well as Eagle Fang's offense. Overall, he can do so much more, at the end, he just needs to open up more to other styles.

      I think that's where Miyagi had a flaw in his "defense only" philosophy. In Part III he tells Daniel that eventually he would forge his own path as a martial artist. Now it took Daniel over 35 years to realize this and let his daughter forge her own path, but I digress.
      The flaw in Miyagi's teaching is how can he expect his students to choose their path or even continue his teachings if they're only equipped with part of the Miyagi-Do system? Miyagi being a pacifist, kind of stunts the growth of his students with his philosophy. Despite his best intentions.

      @@Lord_Bibulous the whole point of the rules of miyagi do were to realize that karate is about defense but that defense takes on many forms even offense. Mr miyagi gave daniel a base in defense so he has something to stand on as he progresses as a martial artist. Thats why miyagi do has two rules, the second rule just means that karate in its essence is one core philosophy of following the good, what you do next and how you practice the first rule is up to you but you should keep the first rule in mind.

      @@Lord_Bibulous He clearly wasn't a pacifist because he engaged in self-defense, he only exposed to the defensive aspect of Karate because he felt Daniel was not ready to learn the offensive aspect of Miyagi-do because the offensive techniques can be abused and people could use it in situations where it is uncalled for. Miyagi clearly knew Daniel was not mature enough to handle the fullness of Miyagi-do because if he did Daniel would abuse it. Just look at season 4 how Daniel decided to use that technique against Johnny to gain control of the whole dojo. It was petty. Miyagi would have been a bad teacher if he had completely hidden the offensive elements or forbade Daniel from using offensive techniques completely, but he told him that there isn't only one way and he has to forge his own path and fight by being himself not what people tell him to do.

    Miyagi was right in not teaching Daniel the more aggressive style of Miyagi-do.

The series does a great job showing when you teach bullied adolescents martial arts, if they are not mentally mature they will turn around and become bullies themselves.

    I just realised: we've seen the pressure point technique used before. Mr Miyagi used it on Daniel, back in the original film. While Chozen's use of pressure points numbs and prevents Daniel from using his limbs, Miyagi used the inverse of the technique to restore movement and cut the inflammation to Daniel's leg, thus allowing him to continue competing after his leg had been injured. They're from the same body of knowledge.
