@11BusoRenkin11 ~ When I first began studying taijiquan I was shocked to discover how much of what was shown in the original Karate Kid series (including in the second or third film when they use the rotating drum as a metaphor for circular momentum punching) was actually taijiquan not "karate". Of course in the recent remake of the film, it isn't karate, _either_.
