COBRA KAI: The Way of the Fist (Prequel to "COBRA KAI: Clash of the Five Dojos")

CHAPTER 3: "The Training."

While Nariyoshi and Sato were training their students, they were still bantering about their different philosophies in Miyagi-Do. So to get over it, Nariyoshi decided to learn more of the aggressive ways and Sato decided to try learning more of true balance. First, it was Sato’s turn. He did some “Wax On, Wax Off” techniques, did some “Sand The Floor”, “Paint the Fence (Up and Down)” and finally, “Paint the House (Side to Side)”.

“Look eye, Sato. Always look eye.” Nariyoshi said, before he did the “Wax On, Wax Off”, which Sato easily blocked. He did the “Pain the Fence” on Sato and his friend was starting to learn really fast as he blocked those attacks too. The third was “Side to Side”. Now the final test before it was Sato’s turn to teach his style of Miyagi-Do. Sato did the “Sand the Floor” and Nariyoshi did all of them with Sato blocking everything. The two give a respectful bow to each other and Sato prepares Nariyoshi for his style. He leads Nariyoshi inside the house and into the Miyagi-Do dojo. The two were already in their gis and had enough time to start. “Let’s see how much you really know, Miyagi.” Sato growled.The two bow and they circle around each other. Nariyoshi sent two punches and kicks but Sato blocked them all and sent his own attacks. Nariyoshi blocks him as well but his next punch gets caught and Sato flips him over. Sato grabs a nearby sai off the dojo weapon wall and with a mighty yell, he stabs it into the ground near Nariyoshi’s face. Nariyoshi looks at the sai, then back at Sato, in fear. The two get up and return into their fighting stances once again. Nariyoshi strikes first again but Sato blocks three of his punches, pulls him toward himself, moves over and elbows Nariyoshi’s back, then kicks the back of Nariyoshi’s knee, making him kneel. Nariyoshi recovered quickly and tried to sweep Sato’s leg but Sato dodged it. Sato attempted to side kick Nariyoshi’s face but his opponent catches his leg and does a 360 degree twist and slams him to the sparring mat.
