In real life Daniel would had lost all his fights

But if this was in real life, Johhny, the Cobra Kais. and Mike would had kicked Daniels a$$. Chozen would had killed him within 10 seconds.

1) The Cobras were losers only capable of bullying.

2)I don't think Sato was as trained as Miyagi, and Chozen looked like the bad copy of Sato. Both didn't get the "spiritual" meaning of karate.

3) Still, Miyaigis' secret karate was something different from the other styles.

It is kind of interesting how Daniel would end up winning!
In the first one, Johnny basically ran face first into Daniel's foot.
In the second one, Daniel basically smacked Chozen in the face a few times before doing that nose thing which somehow knocked him out for good.
In the third one, he ends up winning by starting off with that silly kata, before doing a judo move to win.

my 17 tear old son studies TDK, and in his first tournament (all state midwestern MMA, with students from 6 states)won gold medals in forms, olympic sparring and weapons,(and he hadnt really practised with the katana-his thing is nunchuks, but he won gold against someone 31 years old who has studied for years.) against opponents of higher belts, older in age and experience. he almost made junior champion, but took silver in that event. and he has only studied for about 7 months.

so it is quite possible for someone with less experience to beat someone with years of training....i think it all hinges on the master and his teaching and philosophy.

Eh, he might, and that's a substantial might, of had a shot against Johnny, against Barnes and Chozen, though? Not a chance in hell, especially Barnes, that kid was a stone cold psycho.

I wonder if someone who knew karate ever got in a fight with Ralph Macchio. That would be hilarious.

All of them did kick Daniel's a$$, repeatedly. In the final fights, the one victory I thought was plausible was Barnes. Barnes intentionally didn't win so he could punish him, but Barnes made one mistake at the end of the fight that cost him the win. I could see that happening, but if he fought fairly, he would've smoked Daniel easily.

I think the reason Daniel was able to defeat the cobras was because of the karate method, I mean we see Miyagi fight Kreese twice in the Karate kid saga and both times was able to handle him easily which means his skills were more superior than Kreese's which I believe outweighs the experience that the Cobra Kai kids had over Daniel. When the Cobras are able to land good shots on Daniel at the tournament that's the experience talking but when Daniel wins I think it was the overall karate method talking.
