I can't tell you how many times I've said "Wax on, wax off" to my students as a sign that I'm not ready to be questioned about a technique I'm teaching them. They smile and get on with it and eventually understand when they achieve a result without being distracted by the process.

My kids love that first movie and I appreciate the writing that went into it. It's nice when a pop culture icon actually represents something positive and Morita's "Miyagi" certainly did that. Even the "evil" kid congratulates Daniel at the end of the match.

Goodbye, Pat Morita.
