> it's Mister Miyagi and he's supposed be Japanese, not Chinese.
Just interceding uneccessarily here to say Miyagi, either the Movie version of him, or the real man, was Okinawan.
Grandmaster Chojun Miyagi
I only know this because I've been studying his Goju Ryu style for about eight years now. Hiya! Chop.
Actually, he's very interesting, being born extremely rich gave him the freedom to obsessively spend his entire life perfecting martial arts and its science... he used to repeatedly stab his open hand into a pot of pebbles for years and years, honing and strengthening his hands until he had achieved such stamina in his hands that he could literally jab them into the carcass of a cow and grab its heart in one swift motion. While that sounds like a gruesomely unnecessary exercise... imagine the damage he could do to a much softer human being with his bare hand in one jab. Anywho, he advanced the ideal of self defense and conflict avoidance, not violence.
