Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which movie coined the phrase, "Wax on, wax off"?"
...This memorable phrase is spoken by Mr. Miyagi, played by Pat Morita, in the 1984 film The Karate Kid. In the film, Mr. Miyagi instructs Daniel (Ralph Macchio) to wash and wax his cars. He tells him to spread the wax on in a circular motion with his right hand and then rub the wax off with in a circular motion with his left hand. Then he repeats his little mantra—"Wax on, wax off." Eventually, Daniel realizes that Mr. Miyagi isn't just trying to get some free labor around the house. He's teaching Daniel the basics of karate through repetitive motions and muscle-memory.
