In Karate Kid the mantra of the Cobra Kai Dojo is:




We do not teach anyone to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. An enemy faces you he deserves no mercy.




Within those 3 lines, it says we don't teach mercy, be merciful to the weak, and enemies get no mercy.



Did the bullies actually ignore the teacher invalidating what is said later about no bad student, only bad teacher?

You are misinterpreting the line.



What it means is only the weak give mercy.



Since it assumes that the Cobra kai students are the strong they don't (or shouldn't) offer mercy to the weak.



Nor do they.



They might balk at "sweeping the leg" but they do it....so they don't actually offer mercy at all.

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
