Wax on, Wax off is how Mr. Myagi taught Daniel how to do a circle block. The block is one of the cornerstones of Okinawa karate.
Pat Morita plays the part of an Okinawa Karate master. Much of what he taught is based on the traditional Okinawa style of Shorin Ryu karate. Yes, I teach my kids "wax on, wax off" in class! The 'crane stance' that Daniel does in the last fight is not something we teach in the style.
The House of Wax (1953) was the first 3-D color feature from a major American studio. In the movie, Professor Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price) coats his murder victims in wax.

Hes referring to the movie karate kid, where the character mr. miyagi has a famous line "wax on, wax off" about car washing.
This was a phrase from the movie KARATE KID. The teacher taught the kid how to do major karate moves by waxing the car. He used his left hand to put on wax in one direction and used the other hand in the other direction to remove the wax. When the kid questioned the master that he wasnt being taught karate the master asked him to show him WAX ON WAX OFF. The technique is known as the Kagite uke or circle block. It is a very effective block that provides a good lead in for follow on techniques. Um...That may be true but... Okay, so maybe they didn't mean it like this but having been one of those TV writers myself, who used to love to slip in double meaning in otherwise PG shows this just hit me the other day: Wax On/Wax Off... Keep saying it to yourself and think about the second part. Maybe I'm just a twisted soul but...
