Kata Training - Bill Conti - The Karate Kid, part III

Bill Conti's beautiful music was composed and already used for the first Karate Kid under a different title, but I really like how it connects here on Karate Kid III, with the whole waking up, training and facing your fears concept. KK3 has its weaknesses, but the relationship between Daniel and Mr. Miyagi is still very strong and quite memorable.

This scene is absolutely amazing. The healing of the tree symbolizes the healing of Daniels mind and the relationship between him and myagi. Makes me tear up

Back to basics, returning to balance and harmony with his master.

The antagonist trains to fulfill the chaotic urge of aggression. The protagonist trains to master the sync between the clarity of thought and movement.

“Now will you train me?” As a kid it was like the moment would never come, then finally it happened, the whole scene Mike Barnes training to kill, Daniel gracefully doing Kata with Mr Miyagi and finally achieving that balance with Mr Miyagi he was seeking the whole time. One of my favorite movies ever

The Kata scenes will always be the most beautiful scenes in this movie.

One of the first movies I remember my Dad taking me too, when I was 6 or 7. Not my favorite of the 3, but for that reason this movie is, and will always be, sacred to me. I watch it anytime its on, and think about my Dad who has since passed.

Favorite scene. The sound track is amazing, the contrast between one training and the other, the symbology of the bonzai being healed and Daniel finding the inner focus. Just perfect.

At 1:09 is incredible camerawork as the Rejuvenated Bonsai tree appears in the foreground. Best part of this movie.

They need this music for Cobra Kai Season 4. Show a montage of Miyagi training Daniel mixed in with Daniel and Johnny training the kids.

Beautiful moment in the movie. Nice contrast between peace and conflict...it’s well done:)

As much as the film was disliked by many, especially by the director himself, this was an absolutely wonderful montage and continuation of the theme by the amazing Bill Conti. Probably my favourite moment in the film and I still really enjoy this film to this day. Still a lot to enjoy despite the story not being as strong as the previous films.

[Masterz]

The Bonzai representing Daniel was pretty clever symbolism from the director. This is the best track of the movie in my opinion. Love those ii - V progressions.

I was so glad when Cobra Kai was announced. Now the next generation can watch and weep as this fantastic trilogy continues

[AllRequired]

First, teacher to student. Then, father to son. This time, man to man.

Do not be surprised if Robby faces the same situation under Daniel's training.

[daryuskobra]

Mr Miyagi was a fantastic and forgiving sensei. It's a shame that Pat Morita is dead. He would've been amazing in the new Cobra Kai series

[metalore]

I love how you can see the flickering black spots on the film at 1:10. A prime example of what makes film records so classic.

[originalrbp]

Beautiful how the bonsai tree is shown fully healed. It is healed because as Mr Miyagi says it has "strong roots", and in the same way Daniel San is able to bounce back from adversity because he too has strong roots, planted by Mr Miyagi and his wisdom.

Very spiritual this scene is one my favorite parts

[anthonycampos]

Bill conti controls your emotions for all of this clip ! What a treasure

[PeteMitchell_Maverick]

My favorite moment in the third Karate Kid.
