The sixth film in the series centers on a kung fu prodigy who enters a high-stakes martial arts competition to help a new friend.

After a family tragedy, Li Fong( Ben Wang) moves to New York City with his mother(Ming-Na Wen). When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition but his skills alone aren't enough. Li’s kung fu teacher, his uncle, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso’s (Ralph Macchio) help, and Li has to learn a new way to fight, merging two styles into one, so that he can gain an upper hand in the ultimate martial arts showdown.

Li strikes up a friendship with Mia (Sadie Stanley), the daughter of Victor (Joshua Jackson), owner of a pizza shop around the corner. Her ex-boyfriend Connor (Aramis Knight) doesn’t like it and gives Li a black eye with a vicious sucker punch. But that’s not the only thing forcing Li to break his promise to his mother. Victor, a former championship boxer, is in serious debt to the sensei at the martial arts academy where Connor trains.
