Waxing On: The Karate Kid and Me

Product Information

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. Ralph Macchio just seems like a really NICE guy. He is the narrator for the book, which I always think adds a nice little bit of extra that they are reading their own words, so they can put the inflection and expression on what they feel the most strongly about. Book Genre: Adult, Autobiography, Biography, Biography Memoir, Culture, Film, Media Tie In, Memoir, Nonfiction

Marriage is work. A relationship is always work. But having someone to take the journey with? Be understood by, at the deepest level? The totality of that is special’: with wife of 35 years Phyllis Fierro. Photograph: Allen Berezovsky/FilmMagic I love Cobra Kai season 5. I especially love how all of Daniel's movie rivals, Johnny, Chozen, and Mike Barnes, all teamed up and became friends with him.

Your book was exactly what I wanted. As you said, it was the behind-the-scenes stories of The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai. It was really perfect. Bubbeo, Daniel (February 9, 2018). "Ralph Macchio to guest star on 'Kevin Can Wait' ". Newsday. Archived from the original on April 18, 2018 . Retrieved April 17, 2018. Macchio will guest star on two episodes ... Macchio will play 'Alviti,' the head of a company turning Long Island properties into parking lots I finally did, and obviously, it has become one of my favorite 80's films. Too, too good and some truly beautiful moments. The memoir is heartfelt, and insightful. It is funny, and a little frustrating (like -- why wouldn't Macchio have watched The Next Karate Kid from start to finish, even if just in support of Morita's continued live in the Miyagiverse? He should have. He still should. It was actually a nice edition). There was an effortless ease from the first reading with Pat Morita, who played Mr Miyagi, Daniel’s mentor. It felt as if we had been kissed by some soulful magic. Mr Miyagi is The Karate Kid. He’s a human Yoda, a father figure, the secret sauce that makes the film not just another 1980s coming-of-age movie.

BE PREPARED FOR TONS OF REPETITION to a later chapter, the next chapter, I’ll get to it next, remember last chapter, this chapter of my life. PDF / EPUB File Name: Waxing_On_the_Karate_Kid_and_Me_-_Ralph_Macchio.pdf, Waxing_On_the_Karate_Kid_and_Me_-_Ralph_Macchio.epub If you are a diehard fan of the original Karate Kid movies and current Cobra Kai series, you will enjoy this book. Thank you to Penguin Randomhouse audio and Ralph Macchio for the ALC. I have loved The Karate Kid for my entire life - this was not only entertaining, but very special for me ❤️ I am a Ralph Macchio fan. Always have been, however . . . I have since seen The Outsiders, Karate Kid I & II, and My Cousin Vinny -- each over 100 times. Easy. Karate Kid III was very . . . meh. I enjoyed The Next Karate Kid very much (Probably watched it 3 or 4 times). Cobra Kai -- I have watched each season more than once.In 2013, he appeared in How I Met Your Mother. One of the main characters, Barney Stinson, asserts that Macchio's character, Daniel LaRusso, in The Karate Kid is not the real karate kid; instead, it's Johnny Lawrence, Daniel's nemesis in the film. [23] I got choked up a time or two as it became evident, and impacting, the relationship --friendship-- that grew between Macchio and Pat Morita. The funeral service for Morita - where Zabka showed, as well. That did me in. Reading is my favorite hobby. I honestly don’t watch much TV these days and there is only one show I would watch over reading a book - Cobra Kai. So when I learned Ralph Macchio had a book coming out, I was beyond excited! I got an Advanced Listening Copy (narrated by Ralph himself) from Penguin Randomhouse and needless to say, I finished listening in less than a day.
