Is so ridiculous considering he is in his late 50s in age. Way too far fetched to be believable

Why do you say that? Roger Moore played a British Secret Service Agent very convincingly at age 57. It can be done.

Id say because Johnny wasnt like some awesome karate person anyhow, then add in his old age that its rather unbelievable he could've won

But Moore wasn't in contention to win British Secret Service Person of the Year award. Another agent, one younger, would have won it. A world karate champion would be in his 20s to early 30s. I know. I'm a martial arts expert

James Bond is considered to be the best secret agent that MI6 has and a 57 year old man was able to pull it off. I have no problem believing that a man in his late 50’s could be world champion. I mean Roger Moore hung off a blimp, jumped off the Eiffel Tower and escaped a burning building.

I agree. Plus Johnny wasnt like wirld beater in karate to begin with.

The ages rules typically don’t apply in Karate movies. The cobra Kai grandfather is what? 120 and still a bad ass fighter?

Realistically, that is why having the senseis fight is a stupid rule to begin with.

Karate tournaments seem to have very stupid rules time to time. From Daniel getting a free ride to the Finals in part 3 to the sensei's fighting each other. So if one sensei was someone like Kreese, how can they force him to fight a sensei who is in his 30s.

There's a guy called George Foreman who makes lean mean grilling machines.

Anyway, he used to be a boxer even although he was quite portly (which is the socially acceptable term for what we used to call "fat") and he came out of retirement to win a world champion when he was pretty old...

I seen him on the Food Network. I never knew he was a boxer. Thought he was a famous chef
