Isn't 'he' also the first transgender marial artist? I wonder how she looked like when she was a she.

Re: Most Underrated Martial Artist Of All Time - Ralph Macchio - He Would Have Beat Bruce Lee
They are both ACTORS !!!
.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82480441



Many of you are shrugging Macchio & and Pat Morita as mere actors, but they both took to martial arts like ducks to water. Both became obsessed with taking martial arts to the next level. Ralph bought a home in Japan and trained nonstop in a master's wheel under the tutelage of Morio Higaonna. (I wouldn't mess with Ralph. Jason Statham tried clowning him at LAX back in the late 90's and Macchio kicked him into a luggage carousel.)

I'm not sure where Morita was trained, but I heard it was by a karate master in Hawaii. All I know is there's a story of Pat beating three shaolin monks that studied under the legendary IP Man in an underground tournament.

Some say the characters Sheng Long and Ryu from the Street Fighter series are based on Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio. And you know what, I believe it! banana

Word is they tried sending him to Moscow to "persuade" Putin to pull the troops from Ukraine.

But he refused out of respect for Putin's Judo black belt.

True story: my uncle is a VIP at UFC and knows Dana White really well. Apparently they had their eyes on signing Machio and put him up against Jon Jones (before all his fuckups) for the title. When Bones Jones heard about it, he backed out and said he wanted no part.

Dana told my uncle there was leaked footage of Machio fucking up a gorilla…bad. Jones saw it and backed out. Without an opponent and the UFC being a big sponsor of PETA (didn’t want the backlash from the video) they declined to sign Ralph.

i heard that ...steven seagall was meeting with ukraine and it might have come down to a standoff, both of them decided to have a some sushi, with lots of wasabi, and steve seagall said he was concerned about the biolabs in ukraine and he wanted to destroy them , but ralph machio said we won't fight until they release another bioweapon ...

remember mr. miyagi said martial arts are defensive not offensive so they agreed to wait until it was released to start doing roundhouses and leg sweeps on the biolabs.

i respect ralph machio because he wears mom jeans almost better than obama

Your uncle knows his shit.

There's a whole series of underground videos of Macchio facing off against various dangerous beasts. He even took on a great white shark underwater and emerged unscathed. Same can't be said for the shark if you catch my drift.

The second release of Karate Kid on DVD is rumoured to have some interesting special features, including some incredible behind-the-scenes footage of Macchio in amateur competition matches. It was quickly withdrawn from sale before it even reached stores and, if you can find a copy, fetches upwards of four figures on eBay.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82331121


My friend had a copy back in the day because he worked at a video store. They said they canceled the release because they thought it showed Macchio as 'too violent' and wanted him to keep his wholesome image so they could release Karate Kid II.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79581678


That was the cover story.

The truth is this: Macchio's martial artistry was so devastating and innovative, the US military took control of the video and began using it to train special forces.

All black ops teams MUST now be proficient in Fist of Ralph before they are allowed AMYWHERE NEAR an operations theatre.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82395812


Back in 2007 I saw a clip uploaded to YouTube from the DVD special features of a match between Chuck Norris and Ralph Macchio. It was in a boxing ring and after less than a minute Norris put his hands up and backed away before climbing out of the ring. I've never seen someone do a spinning kick with such sheer speed before as Macchio. Norris was visibly shaken and nothing shakes Chuck Norris.

Then the clip cut to Macchio and Norris later with Norris pointing at Macchio saying "The man. The. Man." while Pat Moriarty nodded slowly in the background.

The next day when I went back to watch it again because I couldn't believe what I'd seen it was already deleted. Unforutnately I didn't know how to download vidoes from the internet back then and I've never seen it again. All trace of it has dissappeared from the internet. It's as if it never even existed.

No surprise. Macchio videos are strictly controlled by tptb to stop bad guys learning his skills.

As for Ralph's spin kicks, Ryu and Ken's "Spinning Bird Kicks" in the video game Streetfighter were based directly on them. Dude could turn 1800 degrees in the air and literally take his opponent's head off.

I saw the DVD on eBay once, many years ago. They had some screengrabs from the Chuck Norris fight, including Chuck Norris with his hands up. Also there was a picture of Macchio with Brandon Lee.

It was bid up over $1,000 which seemed a lot at the time but now it would be an absolute bargin. The DVD is so rare it's literally worth its weight in gold.

Here's my two cents:

Let's just say I've done some work for the United States government. Even crossed paths into a certain Aikido expert a couple of times while on ops in South East Asia.

However, there was one name no one talked about, except in hushed tones. He came to train us one day. Everything we thought we knew about fighting? We knew nothing. My perspective on fighting, on life, my place in world... everything changed the day he talked to us and showed us just a small fraction of his immense power.

If you're truly a walker of the black world, you'll no doubt have heard stories about what really went down in a little place called Fukushima in 2011.

That year, a certain former movie star and martial arts virtuoso was in town, giving a masterclass to assembled international experts from the world of pugilism.

In the evening, said movie star was practicing his internal qigong as usual, when he inadvertently released a blast of qi energy that caused the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

It was so powerful that it literally tore the fabric of reality, warping the space time continuum and creating the 'echo effect' earthquake this year as well.

Moral of the story, don't mess with the Macch.
