Later, after he sees Eric McGowen with Julie at the dance and when he sees them kiss in Eric's car, he got jealous and smashes the car windows and challenges him to a fight at the dock.

After he and the other members of his group destroy Eric's car and beat him, Julie and Mr. Miyagi find them and take Eric, only to be stopped by Ned who tries to grab Julie, since he had a crush on her and was angry that she rejects his advances. Julie wanting to get revenge at Ned for all the trouble at school. Ned taunts Julie with his insolated stand and tries to hit her, she dodges it. They both fight until Ned cheats by throwing sand at in her face. Despite the disadvantage, Julie manages to counters his attack, successfully defeat him and turn her back on him in disgust.
