Kickin' It is a 2011 Disney XD comedy about martial arts. It centers on the Bobby Wasabi Dojo, led by Sensei Rudy.

Tropes used in Kickin' It include:

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.
Five-Man Band:
- The Hero - Jack
- 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.
Only Sane Man: Both Jack and Kim seem to be the least goofiest characters on the show.
Pet Heir: When Bobby Wasabi was told something he didn't believe, he said it was rich like his dog will be once he dies.
The Mall: All scenes take place there.
Small Name, Big Ego: Jerry.
The Smurfette Principle: Kim is the only girl in the main cast.
Shout-Out: When Milton got a failed grade, he was afraid of ending up selling shoes at some store.
- He also became an Expy of Ziggy Stardust in an episode set in The Seventies.
