The Karate Kid showed a different aspect of the master-disciple relationship than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There was more trust between the two, which was established at the beginning of the movie when Mr. Miyagi fixed Daniel’s bike and continued to develop throughout the movie. Daniel trusted him as a friend and he trusted that Mr. Miyagi had experience with karate and would teach him correctly. Daniel had to do whatever Mr. Miyagi told him to, and again Daniel had to trust. Daniel thought he was just doing household chores for Mr. Miyagi, when in reality, there was a purpose. Mr. Miyagi not only had to show Daniel about karate, but he had to teach him what the correct circumstances to use it were. As master and disciple, it was easy to see the dedication and loyalty from both sides
