 * Action Girl: Kim.
 * Artistic License Martial Arts: Common, but it doesn't distract from the fun of the show.
 * Belts are not "won" in tournaments.
 * Assumed Win: The Wasabi Warriors once entered a dance contest. When the winner of individual category was to be announced, an arrogant cheater was readying himself to accept it. Then one of the warriors was announced the winner.
 * Blackmail: In one episode, the bully Truman blackmails Eddie into pranking the other dojo members. Once the gang finds out, they go all out to turn the tables on Truman.
 * Crossover: Dale Davis, a recurring character from Zeke and Luther, once interviewed Kim and Milton about a beach at the mall.

 * The Lancer - Kim
 * The Big Guy - Jerry
 * The Smart Guy - Milton
 * The Chick - Eddie
 * Big Brother Mentor - Rudy
 * Funny Foreigner: Phil
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: The show sometimes seems to be an excercise in it. Double Entendres, Gags that only an adult would get like 'Wet T-Shirt contests', and all kinds of that sort of fair.
 * "Ok, now show me on the witch where the butcher touched you."
 * "I can't hide anything, I'm wearing spandex."
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Jason Earles plays Sensei Rudy.
 * So this is where Snake Eyes got his start at. I'm surprised he's talking.
 * Laser Hallway: Jack and Milton find one on the way to a security office. Jack does some acrobatics to traverse it and disables it for Milton. For some reason, the door to the security office itself was unlocked.
