So long to the Hip Nip, Noriyuki Morita.
KK is still one of the few movies with martial arts in it that I enjoy, and his character is a big part of the reason why.

The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.
Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

I don't mean to be a d!ck here, as it is a terrible shame to have lost such an iconic figure. However, you guys are all talking like he was a real karate master. He was an actor who never formally studied martial arts and most of his karate scenes were done by a stunt double.
If anything, you should be creditting the writer of the Karate Kid movies if they resonated that well with you. Pat Morita was a great actor, but not a sensei!

Right, but it's what he stood for; the way he portrayed the role. Come on, how many of you when you were young wanted to meet someone like Mr. Miyagi?

I know what serpent is saying, i think most of us credit rocky and karate kid movies to our ongoing drive to keep training , its the eternal underdog story which everyone is , as no one can be born a champion, And the same person directed both these films John G. Avildsen !
Even the late andy hug said himself that he found great inspiration from the rocky films.
However pat morita expressed what people looked for in a martial arts master,
in a way if bruce lee can still be remembered as a great fighter after only one debatable fight and arnold schwazzeneger can become governor. Then pat morita can be classed as a martial arts master by enticing 2 generations to take up martial arts as well as giving people an understanding of so many things portrayed in the movie.
Also in an interview pat morita said whilst he was in a hotel a famous japanese sensei saw him, came up to him bowed and called him sensei !!!
Lets face it when i put on the ali movie , that was bad, i took it off after the first 10 minutes , they portrayed ali practically as a "whats up my dawg im da man " and sonny liston as a redneck im gonna **** you up.
