Answer: Kung Fu

Although the original movie is about karate, the remake is about kung fu. In the original, Mr. Miyagi is an Okinawan immigrant. Okinawa is where karate originated. In the remake Mr. Han was taught kung fu by his father, which he then teaches Dre. Kung fu comes from China where the movie is set. Jackie Chan thought the movie should have been called "The Kung Fu Kid" because of this.

He is disqualified but Dre is hurt too badly to continue. Mr. Han works his magic with the cupping and Dre is able to continue to fight Cheng in the finals.
