Never quite understood the point system of the fights in the karate kid films, Danielson seems to spend 99% of the fights getting his ass kicked, with the other guy getting in 15 strikes, then Danielson does 1 crane kick and seems to win
Daniel kept gettin beat down in the tournament because the Cobra Kai would win a legit point, hack Daniel with a cheap shot thereby getting a point taken away. In the middle Daniel would occassionally score a point. His final match with Johnny was just that....Johnny would win a point, then lose a point due to cheap shot, then win a legit point, then lose a point due to cheap shot and on and on.....meanwhile Daniel would a point, then get beat down for 6 that offset themselves, then Daniel would win a point, then Johnny would beat him down for 8 points that washed again and then Daniel hit him with the crane kick for the win!!
The reality was Johnny was the karate kid and Daniel was a guido punching bag!
