Part of LYFF Cine-Takeover

After moving from New Jersey to Los Angeles, Daniel becomes the target of a group of students from the ruthless Cobra Kai dojo. Harassed and outmatched, he is rescued by the eccentric karate master, Mr. Miyagi, who Daniel convinces to take him on as his student. As Miyagi begins Daniel’s training, Daniel discovers that karate is far more than just fighting, as his inner strength begins to grow too, to help him stand up to his bullies and find his place in his new home. One of cinema’s greatest underdog stories, back on the big screen and ready for a new generation to discover.

Kick off your screening with a live action choreography and stunt display from world champion martial artist and action filmmaker Nathan Geering. Hear from him afterwards about working as a stunt performer and gain behind the scenes insights.
