Skill of the Week: Use Chopsticks Like Mr. Miyagi



It has always been important for men to have the skills and knowledge to deal with any situation. We're republishing an illustrated guide from our archive every Sunday so that you can improve your manly knowledge week by week.

Man who catch fly using chopstick can achieve anything. Mr. Miyagi is the Karate Kid

The Karate Kid taught 80s kids a lot of things, including how to use chopsticks. The scenes in which Mr. Miyagi, Daniel-san and their friends try to catch houseflies with their chopsticks between the tips are some of the most thrilling moments ever seen in utensil movies. You'll need to practice your chopsticks on easy targets like sweet and sour fried chicken in order to reach that level of chopstick mastery. With time, however, you might find yourself throwing away your fly swatter. Remember, even Mr. Miyagi took until Karate Kid II before he finally caught a fly.

Your chopsticks will not only help you get rid of pests in your home, but also allow you to eat Asian food at restaurants or when travelling without having to ask for a fork.
