Jaden has not yet proven himself to be an achiever, there is plenty of time for him to do that. But his dad is a proven achiever.

He is still riding on the wings of his dad. Wait till he starts flying on his own and then we can judge. For your info that Karate Kid of a film is way overhyped, its supposed to be a B-Rated movie.
