Mr. Lopez's Karate Studioappears in The Karate Kid

Mr. Lopez is a lackluster and disinterested karate instructor who runs a crummy karate studio near the home of Gilbert Sanchez, a student. The studio had wooden floors that release slivers and scanty equipment. Mr. Lopez is obviously disinterested in making the studio succeed or training the students well. After attending the school for six months, Gilbert still is unable to defend himself. The school eventually closes because of an insufficient number of enrolled students. The studio and the instructor represent the worst type of martial arts training available.
