The story of the Karate Kid masters.

In 1984, the film Karate Kid was released. There are many stories behind this project, but one of them is a story of mutual humility. The original role of Miyagi was offered to the 9th Dan of Sh*to-Ryu Karate, sensei Fumio Demura, who turned down the role because he said he was unprepared as an actor and didn't want to ruin the film. They then offered it to Pat Morita, an actor but not a karateka, who would accept the project only if Demura performed the scenes where Karate was demonstrated, since he wasn't willing to show a martial art that takes a lifetime to develop. Thus, a friendship and a duo were born that complemented each other to develop the classic we know today.
