First...kudos. Very well written and thought out...although you didn't do it to hear me say that I'm sure, I'm saying it none-the-less...now > Lesson: A perfectly executed attack is tough to beat. > Lesson: If you see your opponent do something that seems stupid but they wind up looting your corpse. . .maybe it wasn't really stupid. > However, in the less well known sequel, Daniel busts out the Crane Kick on his adversary with less than satisfying results. You could look at this a few ways. > Maybe the kick wasn't done right. Lesson: Be on the guard against your ego. You might not be as good as you think you are. > Or, maybe it was. Lesson: There isn't one strategy that's good in any one situation. No can defense, my ass, old man. Strive to avoid becoming a "one trick pony" or "bash spammer" or whatever you want to call it. Q: Do think Mr.Miyagi actually believed the crane kick indefensable, or was that just what he told Daniel-san to instill the necessary confidence on him to get the job done ? Any nice move will impress newbies, even strong newbies, but the experienced prepared player has already seen it, and a smart one has come up with a defense...
> Crane Kick. If done correctly, no can defense.
