Dismissed

Did you think over our proposal, Mr. Stillwell?

Yes I did.

And I'm sorry that you came all the way from New York for nothing.

Now I don't want to waste any more time. Meaning?

Meaning -

I must decline your offer.

If money is the problem, things can be worked out.

That's not it. I won't join...

your organization.

My superiors will be quite insulted.

I understoof I had a choice in the matter.

Are you that naive, Mr. Stillwell.

Now you've forced my hand. An example must be made.

You See?

That doesn't solve anything!

Perhaps it will proove instructive for others with the same ideas.

I will not fight! So be it.

Karate is not to be used aggressively, but if I have no other choice.

Dad!

You bastard!

We'll be back with the contract, Mr. Stillwell.

Until then, get some rest.

Jason!

Dad, are you okay? I think my leg is broken.

We'll get them, we'll make them pay!

No, Jason!

It's over! Fighting them is not the answer.

What is the answer?

It was Krashinski, the Russian.

They want all the major dojos as fronts for organized crime. I know they'll be back.

What should I do? I can't lose my family.

There's nothing else to do but... leave.

This is it ladies and gentlemen! The last stop. Yes ma'am!

You better be glad that he came along, Brucie! Next time I'm going to kill you!

I told you not to fight!

I didn't do it for fun! I did it for a friend.

That's excuse!

What excuse would be good?

Jason, fighting is for punks!

Dad I was helping a friend! Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Fighting is wrong! It's just gonna get you in more trouble

It got me out of trouble today!

Sure, trouble you would have never been in before. Dad, you never listen to me! I've heard it before Jason!

You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Watch your tone of voice with me young man!

It's not my tone of voice Dad! It's the fact that I don't agree with you, isn't it?

Just because I don't agree doesn't mean I'm wrong! In this house, what I say counts.

Are you trying to raise a son or a clone!

I don't know what I've raised!

What?

Go to your room!

And you oughtta be ashamed of yourself, for fighting like some common street punk.

Sensei Lee?

Lee Da Ge you call me. Shall we begin? Begin?

Begin What? Your Training? You asked me to help.

I'm ready! I've studied alone. And!

And I I haven't been the best of students. I Know that you can do better.

Utilize what's up here as your way. That's how you'll win.

Come over here.

This.

It's your beginning. You must to be like the sword.

We call it martial arts.

The character "wu" is made up of "qua", which means violence or force.

plus this character "zhi" meaning stop.

We practice how to stop violence.

What you learn from me is for defense only and

should not be mis used. That's the idea.

It is your move, you don't want to listen then, bye.

I don't wish revenge. I only want to learn!

You empty! The cup first!

Pardon?

This cup as you, represents your knowledge.

This cup is what I offer you.

The cup of my knowledge is more than your cup hold.

No, Lee Da Ge!

Then, the cup now is clean, you understand?

Yes.

Hao, get in a stance.

Punch and power punch

No, this hand: no power.

Now, hit here!

Stand up!

What was the mistake?

Punch wasn't fast enough? Easy to defend against?

Are you asking or telling me?

Now say that to me again!

Not fast enough! Easy to defend against.

Hao. Show me where to improve it!

show you?

Listen to the warrior inside!

Move and I'll counter.

Think of your technique.

a Strike!

Now My technique is a long move.

See which is first

Again!

Hao

know why you've been getting hit?

No, Lee Da Ge.

You lead with the shoulder. and when your shoulder moves, I see it!

You'd Be quickl and direct!

Utilizing "Qi".

The result is: Power!

"Qi"... Power!

never can succeed without a surprise.

Your training begins tomorrow.

What's wrong?

I'm not sure Lee Da Ge

Think of what you are doing.

and If you want to improve yourself, you must concentrate!

That's your strength

I just don't feel natural.

Now, was that natural enough for you?

Sure.

That's because you didn't think about it, you just reacted.

From now on, be spontaneous.

Now, come on.

Handling multiple strikes requires timing.

Are you ready?

Now Why are you being hit? I don't know, but I'm standing here...

Lee Da Ge

All these sand bags are your adversaries. Stay in the center!

Ready?

To fight effectively, you must empty all your self.

Your eyes must see in all directions!

Your ears shall be aware of sounds.

And you must learn to feel every movement, before it occurs.

And be ready to react! Try again!

How's that Lee Da Ge?

Thanks to you.

Is that right Lee Da Ge?

Hey, are you crazy?

Faster!

You know what Jace man, you gotta be faster than that! Come on get with it!

Let's go

Faster!

Kick me!

what now?

This time I'll kick you!

You weren't ready. Unexpected moves are hard to countere

so they present worse danger.

Pretend my arms trapped this leg. That's your adversary. Kick!

Hey! Get me another beer! Hurry it up! Coming right up.

No, no, no. Bring it over here.

Come on!

Come on!

What took you? boy? I'm sorry it took so long...

What's this I hear you used to teach karate?

Look, I don't want any trouble.

Then answer my question.

What are you, a black belt?

No, no I'm not. Now look, I gotta get back, so.

You'll go when I say you can go, karate man! And no sooner, got that? yes sir, yes sir

Clean yourself up, You're a mess

That's a good boy.

Get back here. Hey! Get back here

Don't you ever come back!

I'm gonna be back, and I'll get you!

Kick it

I'll never be able to hit it

If you think that it is impossible, you won't hit it

Set the images all in your head, then believe them

And know it can't be stopped.

Lee Da Ge, I did it!

Lee Da Ge where are you?

I did it.

I did it.

Hey RJ, what's my time?

Man... something must be wrong with this watch!

Come on, let's get going! Yeah, right...

Oh Look at the time! Your dad's getting off work now and I was supposed to be there.

Do you Want me to pick him up mom? Would you?

Yeah Sure. That would give me time to make dinner! Ok

Think you can handle it?

I'll struggle along without you.

Karate man, we're going to teach you some manners!

Ok ok, it won't happen again!

Oh no. It is too late for that!

You will never mess with me again!

Get outta here!
