Years after his iconic mentorship of Daniel LaRusso, Mr. Miyagi travels to Boston to attend a military reunion and soon finds himself caring for Julie Pierce, the rebellious granddaughter of an old war comrade. Still grieving the loss of her parents, Julie is angry, guarded, and drifting down a dangerous path. But Miyagi sees something familiar in her pain—and a spirit that just needs guidance.

Reluctantly, Julie agrees to train under Miyagi’s strict but patient discipline. Through kata, balance, and inner focus, she begins to reclaim her strength and identity. Away from violence and revenge, Miyagi teaches her how to fight not just physically, but with grace, control, and dignity—traits she never knew she had.

As Julie grows stronger, she’s confronted by a local school’s toxic Alpha Elite—an extremist student military group that bullies anyone who dares to be different. When they target her and her friends, Julie must step out of the shadows and prove to herself—and her enemies—that she’s not the victim they think she is.

The Next Karate Kid carries on the spirit of the franchise with a new kind of fighter—one who learns that true power isn’t in fists or fury, but in knowing when not to strike.
