Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Since The Karate Kid first crane-kicked its way into the pop culture stratosphere in June 1984, there hasn't been a week Ralph Macchio hasn't heard friendly shouts of "Wax on, wax off" or "Sweep the leg!" Now, with Macchio reprising his role as Daniel LaRusso in the #1 ranked Netflix show Cobra Kai , he is finally ready to look back at this classic movie and give the fans something they've long craved.
Becoming the kid -- Soulful magic -- Strawberry shortcake and the cannoli -- The Zabka experience -- The crane takes flight -- The "eighties" of it all -- Frozen in time -- Theories and debates (and the birth of Cobra Kai) -- Impact and inspiration -- Finding balance -- Do-overs -- Waxing onward.
"A fun-filled memoir by the Karate Kid and Cobra Kai actor that's equal parts nostalgia and contemporary relevance, based on both the classic movies and his current show, which is Netflix's #1 hit and gaining legions of new fans from every generation"-- Provided by publisher.
