He wasn't teaching Daniel to catch flies with chopsticks. He was doing it himself while meditating, and Daniel came in and saw him. Mr. Miagi told Daniel that a man who could catch a fly with chopsticks could do anything, and also that he had never done it. Daniel picked up a pair of chopsticks and started trying himself, and succeeded, to which Mr. Miagi said "Hmph. Beginner's Luck." So, no, Mr. Miagi did not catch a fly with chopsticks, nor had he ever.
