 There are actually four real kata featured in the original Karate Kid trilogy. The first is obvious as the one in the Karate Kid Part 3, the kata that Mr. Miyagi teaches Daniel and the one that he uses to focus on the tournament. That is actually based on seyunchan, which means control and pool. It's a real kata found in several karate styles. Next, Taylor Silver is working out when Daniel arrives at the dojo, but that too is a real kata. Specifically, it's a kata called Koryo, but the way he's performing it is specific to Jun Chong's Taekwondo style of Koryo. Next, going back to Karate Kid Part 2, we catch a glimpse of Mr. Miyagi himself doing a small portion of a kata in the family dojo. That kata is shishochin, meaning four directions of conflict. And finally, the famous waxon-waxoff chore sequence is composed of motions pulled from the kata ten-show or turning palms. There are glimpses of kata in the next Karate Kid and the Kopakai series, but the main trilogy draws on these four kata, and it's interesting to see them in these forms.
