LaRusso should have gotten a suspension for that illegal kick.

The big unanswered question I always wanted to know was whether LaRusso ever convince Ali to go on a second date with him to ride the water slide at Golf n’ Stuff.

Granted different karate organizations have slightly differing rules, my school was Wado-Kai and punches/kicks to the head or face are allowed but only under very specific conditions. They must be controlled, deliberate, and done safely… if one of those conditions are missing a ref can call against it as being an unsafe hit and put a strike against the fighter or stop the fight entirely and put the victory on the other person. In the case of Karate Kid i would say that it was unsafe considering the force and manner of the kick, a straight on heel kick to the face of an incoming fighter is in no way safe. He could’ve easy killed him.

Any of us alive at the time will always remember that moment.
I was at that water park once as a teenager. The disgusting Santorum-like water ensured that it was only once.
