Martial arts violence pervades this film about a bruised and bullied teen who learns karate for self-defense.
Altercations include hand-to-hand combat, kicks and punches; along with at verbal taunting, the bullying of the Cobra Kai at one point turns into gang-assault when Daniel is outnumbered and beaten into unconsciousness.
Daniel would sometimes catch the bullies off-guard and attack them in school as retaliation.
Black eyes, bloody noses, scrapes and bruises are shown on both Johnny and Daniel who later gets an injured leg.
Daniel gets his head violently gashed in a bike accident (a little graphic).
