The kid teaching the adult was a charming and genius twist. Although Li’s fighting performance was a bit choppy at first—he somehow bumbles a fight with his rival for Mia’s affection Conor (Aramis Knight), and then kicks a$$ against multiple ADULT fighters in an alley—he evens out and is impressive as the young prodigy.

Li Fong may be the newest student in the Karate Kid franchise, but he already has a few advantages over several students from Cobra Kai.

“Karate Kid: Legends” received mixed reviews from critics, resulting in the film getting a score of 55% on Rotten Tomatoes and 51/100 on Metacritic.
