Since ‘The Karate Kid’ first crane-kicked its way into the pop culture stratosphere in June of 1984, there hasn’t been a week Ralph Macchio hasn’t heard friendly shouts of ‘Wax On, Wax Off.’ Now, with Macchio reprising his role as Daniel LaRusso in the Netflix show, Cobra Kai, Macchio is finally ready to look back at the movie that came to define him and give the fans something they’ve long craved. A nostalgic story that will bring readers back to the day they first met Daniel LaRusso, Johnny Lawrence, and Mr. Miyagi, Macchio’s memoir offers a fascinating lens into how our pasts shape all of us.
