There is an oft missed juxtaposition of "good v bad teaching" and the careless automatic assumption that Johnny and the other bullies are bad per se.
This is often a result of the most mis-quoted quotes in the movie: It's NOT "No sucha ting as baad student, only baad teachah. It's "No sucha ting as baad student, only baad teachah; teachah say, student do." It's that last part that is most important to making the first part true.
In the original, the good teacher is Myagi of course and the bad is the Army dude.
ALL students (including Johnny and the other bullies) are "good" in the sense they listen to their teacher. The more cerebral perceptive viewer will feel ambivalent towards the bad-guy karate kid realizing, though Johnny's a mean bully, he's also (i) a good student listening to everything his teacher instructs, and (ii) perhaps a product or yet an innocent victim (nurture not nature) of the bad only in the end, do some of the students of the bad teacher turn on their teacher, which raises a profound philosophical challenge to the original thesis: No such thing as a bad student only bad teacher.
Now what? When is it OK to go against your teacher? What is good v bad (ie evil) Who decides? If a good student should blindly follow the teacher (ie sand the floor) then shouldn't the bad-guy teacher's students have blindly followed everything and NOT turned against him? Maybe sweeping the leg was art of a tacit creative secretive teaching method that wasn't what it seemed - just like Daniel having to sweep the floor. Granted sweeping the leg is a flagrantly illegal and injurious act, consider the philosophical moral dilemmas in modern war fare and training.
