Be sure to read today’s Scene It Before post for Los Angeles magazine – about the dojo from the 1984 classic The Karate Kid. You can find it here. My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours.
Your definitive source to filming locations and all things Hollywood!
The reason that 2 dojos were depicted was because the script called for Daniel and his mom to eat in a restaurant with view of the dojo. While The Noho location did have a restaurant across the street there was not a good view so they headed over to the Miracle Mile ; )
