Four days I've been busting my ass,

I haven't learned a thing.

Better learn balance.

Balance is key.

Balance good, karate good.

Everything good.

Balance bad, better pack up, go home.

Did you ever get into fights

when you were a kid?

Plenty.

- It wasn't like the problem I have, right?

- Fighting, fighting. Same, same.

But you knew karate.

Someone always know more.

There were times

when you were scared to fight?

Always scared. Miyagi hate fighting.

- But you like karate.

- So?

Karate's fighting, you train to fight.

That what you think?

No.

Then why train?

So I won't have to fight.

Miyagi have hope for you.
