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.
