Synopsis

Run by Sensei Rudy, the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy is the worst dojo in the nationwide Bobby Wasabi chain and is in danger of closing. But things change when Jack reluctantly joins the dojo and meets his new crew, including tough guy slacker Jerry and confident martial arts expert Kim. The crew teaches a group of neighborhood goofballs about life, karate, and how to "kick it." Jack and the gang quickly realize their newfound friendship will take them places they've never imagined and, united, they can become unstoppable.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Alexander Homilton what an horrible show. Guess my summary already said that. The thins is full of clichés. Every character is a cliché, the female counterpart that is fated to be the useless girlfriend of the protagonist, she is friggin hot, but she is independent and wants to be the best in what she does, guess what, that's never gonna happen cuz the protagonist is the best, and you my little one, no matter how hot or good you are, you are destined to be second place. The group of geek/nerds guy are simply insulting, I always was considered one and I kicked ass of any bully who tried to intimidate me almost getting expelled for letting some of them crying. what's wrong with Disney and stereotypes ? The protagonist ? oh dear god .... no men, I don't care with who you train with, I don't care if he was the friggin Mister Miyagi, you can't be even better than teachers in your short life !. The only reason they make him so perfect, is because they wanted him to be an idol, and example to follow, they wanted to every kid to relate themselves with Jack-ass, he is the hero and the protagonist, and even when kids might like that, it bores me to death.The comedy ? oh dear god why, I don't know if I have seen another show abuse so much of the resource of CL, literally, is canned laugh every 5 seconds the characters talk, its like the producers are right behind you, screaming to your ears '' Laugh ! Laugh !!! Laugh!!!!!!!!!'' If you are 6 years old or can get related to any of the characters you are possible giving this a 8. If you don't, you are possible hating this. I don't think this deserves more than 3 stars, the things is, that this series have such score as 6.1, and I can't tolerate that. So i give it 1, in order to get the true score it deserves. 6 Its way too much for this.
kadiotatsuryu Kickin it it my opinion seems to be Disney's attempt to attract fans interested in action. Kickin it has a lot of potential. The fights scenes can be pretty cool at times, but other times they're just fake. The show has an incorrect balance of karate and comedy. Most of the actors are bad actors and like all Disney Sitcom type shows, tells a bunch of lame jokes. My main issue with the show is Jack. Jack is the character that makes me hate the show the most. And hatred for him is heightened further by the fact that he's probably like the main character. He's a very skilled martial-artist and has a near perfect moral compass. Why would you make your frieken main character a perfect person. Jack is the most cleeshay character in the series. His skills in karate put him in a league to high for any of his peers, even the blonde. If the show wanted to make Jack like this at the end of the series, okay. But he has been like this for day one. The episodes feature episodes in which Jack is shown to stick to his promises and do all the kind and Noble things...well, most times. At the same time, his friends make the wrong decisions and act more like teenagers, unlike Jack. Jack never loses and always seems to end up right in the end. Even when against his masters. I can at least appreciate the episode when one of his friends say "And let the Almighty Jack win yet another thing? Now way!" He said something like that.Anyone here that knows story or is a good critic knows this simple fact: PERFECT PEOPLE, MAKE HORRIBLE CHARACTERS! WHY?! BECAUSE IT LEAVES NO SPACE FOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!! WHICH IS IMPORTANT IN FICTION AND STORIES. We already know Jack's by far the best! Which is bad since the story's still young. The only time we ever came close to seeing a flaw in Jack is how he badly takes defeat, and even that was proved wrong when he was right in the end of it. Milton, seriously? Even Jaden Smith had to train for Karate Kid. I may not have gotten his name right, so just t be clear, I'm referring to the tall, blondish nerd. If I ever got my @$$ kicked by him, I'd never show my face in public again. Kickin' It has it's fair share of fake judo flips, but whatever.This show has the potential to be a show even Disney haters can appreciate but has a messy story, lame jokes and cheesy moments from Jack. Overall, I give it a 6/10, at a stretch. 6 is poor by the way.
OneDirection Lover When I was flipping through channels, I saw Kickin It. I starting watching, and it is hilarious!! Mateo Arias who plays Jerry is one of the funniest characters ever. I really like Leo Howard since he is a black belt in real life, so he does all the karate in the show. And he is a great actor and not to mention good looking.Olivia Holt who plays Kim works really well with Leo Howard. Thanks to Leo Howard I watch the show, because of him its amazing.One of my favorite episodes is A Slip Down Memory Lane and the Karate Games.Overall I really like the different plots for each episode, it's very creative and I can't wait for the third season! From the perspective of a 14 year old (which I am) it's very funny and you all should watch it!
Juan Castro Well,after watching a couple episodes with my little nephew on Disney XD (The home of HORRIBLE animated shows)I learned that this show is just plain bad. First of all, the actors are just flat out bad. They are the Worst child actors in history! I couldn't stand watching this. Secondly, the plot is just stupid, they just do the most idiotic stuff. I watched some episode in witch the children of the dojo go to the arcade and become masters of some game similar to the kinect for XBOX360 because its about karate and they happen to be black belts in some type of martial arts. Disney is really doing a bad job coming up with good sitcoms ever since Miley Cyrusleft. Disney once had a lot of good shows witch a lot of children watched, but now its just like making random shows witch no kids watch at all. I really apologize if any of my opinions offend you, its just that I think this show should be like erased from the universe. Thank you for reading. -Juan Castro Jr.
