[@jhonpasquez6145]

I went through the same for a long time,until I came across ernie Reyes, and I though to myself I've seen his face somewhere. I looked him up as a child and there he was. My life complete now.lol

[@jonathonbevers170]

I know what you mean I couldn't remember the name of this series. I loved it as a kid and happy I finally found it.

[@annaraines4756]

I looked for this show for years. It was one of my favorites. But everyone I had asked if they remembered all said no. Thanks for sharing.

[@beefcurtainz69]

[@MiguelRodriguez-nt5eq]

I remember wanting to be like Ernie Reyes..lmao

[@beefcurtainz69]

[@macturtle4904]

Damn ! 👍🏿🤦🏿‍♂️💯 I miss this show and those Days! Is that my boy from the wonder years !😂🤣

[@iceddante]

I can't believe that was Don Chealde there! Awesome. I remember I wanted to be Ernie Reyes Jr. when I was a kid and wouldn't be distracted by the contrived setups to establish yet another fight scene. Still loved watching it though. Thanks for posting.

[@jaymiles81]

Dude. You are too cool for posting this. Every little boy wanted to be Ernie.

[@RobertQuant]

[@jaymiles81]

@ Well I'm sure you have an interesting reason why you didn't 😏 Could just be the year you were born 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@faqhue9636]

I love how the 80s was so in love with martial arts movies. Early 90s also had some good ones to.

[@bluemagic8601]

Facts

[@SteelDragon1986-i8k]

And this film predates Surf Ninjas 😊

[@gsutton78]

I remember thinking how awesome this kid was when I first saw this back in '86!

[@johnames6430]

The idea back in the 80's was that if you knew a little Karate that you could take down 5 men twice your size with ease, it didnt' matter if you were a woman, 90 yrs old, or a small child

[@Ghenges]

I loved this show!! I tried to explain this show to people my age and they think I'm a crack head. "No you're talking about the movie with Chuck Norris." NO MORON IT WAS A TV SHOW WITH A LITTLE KID WHO KNEW KARATE!!!!! Thanks for posting this and proving my point. KZbin is the greatest site ever!!!!

[@peepeeland]

This was so badass when I watched this as a kid on TV. After all these years, I still remember that slow motion jumping split kick..... 2:36

[@tonewinwy]

OMG Thanks so much for putting this on here. I loved this show and haven't seen it in like 20yrs.

[@isaiahbanks3888]

[@IncHulkLover]

[@StylinRed]

@@Bird-dl7xs he knew he'd need battle armour after that ass whooping

[@lamont2nd]
