Day 183- My New Karate Skillz, Which Happened Entirely By Accident

When it comes to physical activity, I am a complete potato. I suck at everything. I have a mean volleyball serve, and I can get a badminton rally going, but beyond that, a potato would play sports better than me. But one thing I am good at is learning from movies. I've learned many things from movies that helped me in everyday life. Can't name any off the top of my head, but tonight, I found one:
See, I like Ralph Macchio. I think he's a great actor. But tonight, specifically, he's great in the first Karate Kid movie. I've seen bits and pieces of the movie before, but never from beginning to end. I've seen enough of it to know the crane kick, so, of course, I tried to mimic it.

You know, except better than in that GIF. By following all the lessons taught in the movie, I taught myself karate. I could protect myself against every one of the punches Melanie threw at me. (Not saying much, I know, but still. Movie-learned skillz are movie-learned skillz.)

Plus, Ralph Macchio. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
