OP is obnoxiously wrong.
Daniel LaRusso clearly broke the rules of the tournament by kicking Johnny in the face. Should have been an immediate disqualification.
Depends on the rules of the tournament. Some tournaments do allow face contact. And even if it didn't, by the same token Johnny would've been disqualified for deliberate contact to the knee.
But the point is, Ali was a jerk for not cooperating when Johnny wanted to talk.

Johnny should respect Ali’s wishes to be left alone.
Ali is under no obligation to talk to Johnny.
So, now that we’ve stated the blatantly obvious from a 80’s film that has pretty much lost all its meaning the filmmakers intended because of poor creative choices, do you have a point you’re trying to make?
OP is obnoxiously wrong.
However this does bring up an opportunity if you’ve never seen this video, give it a watch.
Provides an interesting perspective on the karate kid.
Poor creative choices? A film that lost its meaning? The film has become a cult classic and was successful enough to spawn two sequels, (three if you want to count the one that didn't have Daniel) and an animated series, as well as action figures, head bands, posters, a video game, and has also spawned a Youtube Red series Cobra Kai and which grossed $90.8 million at the box office and has become one of the defining movies of the 80s I wouldn't exactly call it a flop or a movie that has lost its meaning or a movie with poor creative choices. You might call it that but you would be in the vast minority.
And the point Im trying to make is this. Ali should've cooperated. All Johnny was asking for was to talk. He was asking for so little. And if somebody wants to talk I don't see what the big deal is about talking with them. The Karate Kid is just one example of that. It was an example I used because just about everybody is familiar with the movie The Karate Kid and it has that scene that I can use to make my point.
So what’s your point in the last bit?
That if a girl wants to be left alone, that’s an unreasonable request?
No its not an unreasonable request but its also not an unreasonable request for a guy to want to talk. If she wants to be left alone than she can be left alone after she talks. As I said, a guy who only wants to talk is asking for so little.
Why are you so obsessed over something a girl did in an 80’s movie?
You might like this...
In the movie The Karate Kid in the beach scene Ali was being a jerk when she wouldn't cooperate when Johnny wanted to talk. All Johnny wanted was to talk. Then to make matters worse Daniel had to stick his nose where it didn't belong and as a result he gets the heck beaten out of him by Johnny but the point is Ali was a jerk because she wouldn't cooperate when all Johnny wanted was to talk. She's a jerk for not cooperating.
But you do find some situations that are exactly like the ones in fictional movies, in real life. That was the point.Fictional kids will be fictional kids.....
I watched the first season with a good bit of trepidation. I didn’t want another childhood experience to be trashed. But I really enjoyed the way it was done. Lots of fun.
