He repeated this process until he felt better, more focus, and able to continue the task.ĭaniel had begun to feel frustrated again at this point. He breathed in through his nose and pulled his hands back inward. He found himself losing focus, but had to remember Miyagi's teachings to close his eyes, put his hands in a praying position at the center of his chest, then push his hands forward. Which required focus, strength, and precision. However, he had to hit each nail all the way through with one strike.

To do so, he placed wooden boards side by side and secured them with a manual hammer and nails. He needed to build walls for a new room in the dojo. His lack of focus made Miyagi trip him to get his attention back.ĭaniel was tasked with a chore similar to that of his beginning lessons. Daniel tried to fool around when he learned the lesson, doing what Miyagi called the "Ali Shuffle". He had to make the signature shout, a kiai, upon impact. He had to twist his feet, legs, hips, chest, and shoulders, and arms into his fist. He had to focus the power of his body into the knuckle of his fist. In this lesson, Miyagi dressed in protective gear so Daniel could practice the full-force of his punch. Miyagi did ultimately push Daniel into the water. He practiced his blocks without tipping the boat or scaring the fish away. The pair went on a lake to fish, with Daniel standing on the bow of the boat, trying not to tip it over as he balanced. This particular lesson is meant to accumulate lessons 1 - 6 in the most peculiar, yet effective, way. This taught him strength, balance, and coordination. He was instructed to kick while the tide came in, with his goal being to kick the waves without falling over. Daniel had to stand in the midst of the tide. Miyagi and Daniel traveled to the shorefront during high-tide.
The two faced one another and bowed while making eye contact. He realized he'd learned the basic blocks of Miyagi-Do Karate, strengthened and conditioned his body, and gained muscle memory. The same came into play with the other chores, having taught him blocks unknowingly. Miyagi threw a strike while Daniel "painted the fence" and was shocked too see he learned a block. Miyagi demanded that he show the movements he'd practiced over the few days. He vented that he hadn't learned anything over the past four days.

He complained that Miyagi was only using him for free labor, unaware of the repetition and muscle memory that he gained from the lesson.Īt this point, Daniel was angry and frustrated with Miyagi. The task took Daniel all-day to complete, and he felt tired and used. He moved side-to-side while painting and remembering his breathing techniques. Much like Lesson 3, Daniel used a paintbrush and cans, but the use of a ladder was also needed. The work should be done by night as usual. The lesson isn't over until both sides of the whole fence are painted, and much like the previous two lessons, he couldn't forget to breathe. For the small boards, he used his left hand, for the big boards, right hand strokes were applied. To conduct this lesson, Daniel stood in front of the fence and move the brush up and down against the board, with focus on his wrist.

Using an ordinary paint brush, plus some cans to reapply, Daniel had to paint the fence surrounding the dojo. Do it a bunch of times, develop unconscious karate techniques." ― Demetri to Daniel LaRusso Lesson 3: Paint the Fence " Oh, okay, I get it. This work took him all night to complete, and he complained of sore shoulders after. Of course, much like the first lesson, he had to be reminded to breathe in and out. The right hand should motion counter-clockwise and the left hand should move clockwise. Similar to Lesson 1, only the circles are done in opposite motions. Using Japanese sanders and the deck of the Dojo, the motions were completed in a circle with both Daniel's left and right hand. He had to remember to breathe in through his nose and out through his mouth. He then repeated the motion with his left hand, moving counterclockwise. The process of waxing them was tedious, had to be performed with his right hand, and apply the wax in a circular clockwise motion.
