I don't think they are Social Justice Warriors. Sure a bit preachy but not on that level. The guy tries to be nice even with his mother screaming in the background. Whereas the mom, is more or less a soccer mom in a Karate Gi. And she's not like that all the time, she seems to get along well with Larusso's wife.

The 1 time Daniel used it on a fighter that wasn’t rushing straight in or didn’t stand there it didn’t do anything
@@digitalsimulacrum9259 I agree. In the original, you could argue that the move was to simply throw off the opponent, which it did. But the fact that they're trying to make it seem like some sort of secret technique is ridiculous. In real life, that'd be one of the worst moves someone could try to pull off with anyone. Hell, a bum on the street with no fighting experience could counter it. Then again, I've never seen this show. Perhaps it's not meant to be taken too seriously.
Looking at how skilled his students were at this point, Johnny’s an excellent sensei. Got one in the quarterfinals, one in the semis, and the last took the whole thing.
For everyone arguing about who executed the kick better Daniel or Miguel. The two kicks exemplify the two contrasting philosophies of Danny's method of Karate and Johnny's perfectly. When Daniel did the crane kick he went almost straight up in the air and executed the kick to Johnny's face as his opponent rushed at him. Think of it as the aggressor running into his foot and hence Daniel's was more a defensive kick as he was always taught by Miyagi to use karate not to attack but for self defense. Miguel's in contrast was both vertical and a forward lunge that resulted in more power and was an overtly attacking move. His version of the crane kick illustrated his senseis philosophy of attacking karate i.e. Strike first strike hard.
Dude... Miguel’s was fukin stupid. It didn’t even require skill, I can do wat Miguel did for gods sake. Daniel actually trained that kick. Miguel didn’t do it right did u see the way his hands were. The whole purpose of having Miguel do the crane was supposed to be a troll not actual comparison w Daniel. U can’t compare Miguel w Daniel. Daniel would shit on him as a kid
Well yeah, neither Johnny nor Miguel were ever taught the crane kick by a real master, his version is way more brutish but it is stronger. There's merits to both. This how series is about balance and how aggression and compassion must be equal. Two sides of the same coin. It's all about parallels.
Man I’m happy that Miguel shook his hand at the end he’s no all bad he’s just using the things he’s been taught. Also how would u feel if u broke up with ur girl and a new kid is tryna steal her I can understand why he’s so brutal with robby
Imagine your father left you in a home with a drug head mother and never did a thing for you and you had to steal because you had no food or electricity. But then you realize it's still wrong and make your entire thing about avoiding conflict and practicing peace. Then watch your dad be a father figure to another kid more than he ever was for you and then that same kid try to make you the villain and himself the victim even though it's his jealousy. Also robby didn't steal sam. He went to greet miguel with a smile at the party and Miguel's dirty jealousy caused him to try to sneak robby and punch his gf instead. And then the same guy ends up cheating with Sam when she's with robby. Miguel was a snake to robby. Crazy how people victimize him.
@@OceanMetTheSky I can also write two paragraphs about how Miguel is a victim of his own circumstances. It's almost like the entire premise of the show is that not everything is black and white but people aren't solely the sum their mistakes.

She knows that Daniel loved training Robby and deep down he did regret snapping at Robby for not telling him about being Johnny’s son. She’s such a supportive wife and I think all the homies deserve an Amanda in their life.
@@awesomegirl5190 , I’ve never seen the original Karate Kid films, but the clips shown in the Cobra Kai series showed Miguel’s Crane Kick being objectively quicker and stronger than Young Daniel Larusso’s Crane Kick, and if the Crane Kick is totally a legal move and not illegal at all than Johnny Lawrence teaching Miguel to use the Crane Kick 2.0 in a tournament is totally justified otherwise Daniel comes off more of a hypocrite than Johnny Lawrence does.
1:28 This scene of Johnny and his other students rooting and supporting his tiny student with glasses (even if he lost, and they didn't scold him or hated him ) and that scene in the trashyard with their breaking and destroying cars with sticks AND WEARING GLASSES FOR PROTECTION are without a doubt the most meaningful and memorable to me.
Yeah. And I bet we got the same 80's song in mind. Really. This season made me go OD on nostalgia. They might as well have gone more over the edge with Bill Conti's "You're The Best".
@@anhkhoapo if you watch analyses of them fighting. They set up the crane kick basically the entire round. And they also dnt enter the Crane Stance when doing it. They start off in boxing stances.
Cobra Kai changed them from wimps to champions, well most of them. Miguel is the only one who had longer training, as well as Aisha, but she joined later and has some skills, then we got Eli aka Hawk, he improved on his skills, but not on par with Miguel. I hope the rest of them expand on where they are with their skills.
All three represent a Cobra Kai student in the old movies. Miguel is basically Johnny. Aisha is Bobby as while she's a brutal fighter she still has a good heart. And Hawk is a mix between Tommy and Dutch. Both major hotheads.
Wendel Chaves especially how she just disregarded that guys sportmanship and left when she didn’t win, it kinda takes out the whole point of him hardening them from little snowflakes, they still expect everything to go write for them and throw a tantrum when it doesn’t. Death to Cobra Kai
@@collinbakker1024 if you're good you can hop on one foot without losing balance. And if your opponent is recovering from the leg sweep just do a downwards heel on him or smth.
*An important fact that many seem to be forgetting: Johnny seemingly mastered the Crane Technique and taught it to a rather inexperienced student in such a short period of time -- bearing in mind this was a secret technique, which Miyagi learned from his father, within the Miyagi-do scrolls and Johnny only saw it once. Therefore, Johnny learned how to "stand and fly" at some point after Karate Kid II ~ It makes me wonder what if Lawrence had Miyagi as a teacher, instead of Kreese, whilst it also begs the question as to whether Johnny will be able to replicate Miyagi's pressure-point/nerve technique - the one Chozen recently taught to Daniel - if he were to ever witnesses it ~ In the latest Cobra Kai trailer for Season 4 we see Daniel putting Johnny through the ropes with 'wax on, wax off' and 'sand the floor', which should be relatively easily mastered by him based on this ~*
@@BartAllen yes it is the only thing miyagi about it is the way the hold there hands its clearly just a jumping front kick which is pretty easy so long as your flexible enough
Miguel bringing new life to that crane kick. Yes, it's still very predictable and unreliable in a fight but the way Miguel executed it was powerful and fast. Anyone who wasn't at least on Miguel's level wouldn't be fast enough to dodge/counter it.
Miguel and his opponents deliver far more impressive fights here than in the season 4 finale! Miguel is simply unrivaled in his intuitive ability and agility.
I love how people say the crane kick is illegal when Miguel literally did the same thing to that poor dude in the beginning. Also for people who are saying no kicks to the face look at 1:58
Thanh Do Huu It’d make sense if he was saying something like I’m gonna wreck you all or you’re all weak or you can just quit now. BUT NO he made the most hypocrite speech a karate man could make.
I felt the same way about Daniel too but after KK 3, I can understand why he’s a bit concerned with opening of cobra kai. Samantha tho, is just a piece of spoiled shit who has everything cuz of a rich daddy.
I wish that they featured Xander more in the series. Dude had an excellent match against Miguel and he might’ve been able to help out eagle fang in season 4
I missed the "other competitors" that we had in this season in the finals of last season. I personally think it was cool to have one of the schools that wasn't in the rivalry still showing merit.
John Kreese: We do not train to be mercy for year, mercy is for the week. Here on the street and competition, the man who can front you, he is the enemy and enemies deserves no mercy. What is the problem, Mr. Lawrence? Daniel: Hey come on, let's forget this. Miyagi: Wait, not yet.
“Yes Aisha”, she’s probably like “why is Sam even trying to support me after all the BS she has done?!” And didn’t she mentioned supposedly that all cobra kai people are BS?
@@gagetaylor192 Yeah nobody beats Miguel in a 3round fight. Only people who will come close is Hawk and Robby😂💯 Crazy how they sent Miguel to Mexico to get him out of the fight loop hopefully he comes back stronger
He has gotten more calls to play other roles in movies. I think because of his popularity in the Cobra Kai series and his acting has improved tremendously in each season. He supposed to play the main character in a movie called Blue Beetle. It supposed to be a major movie based on a Marvel superhero I think. I think him being in Cobra Kai has helped him improve his acting skills to take on better roles in major movies. I expect to see a lot of him in the future playing in major films after he's done with Cobra Kai.
Poor Bert. Never stood a chance. Can't wait for his redemption in Season 2. Sensei. I think I'm going to sit this one out. I'll just get my ass kicked. The hell you will. This time we're putting you in the junior division. ...There's a junior division?
that form of mixing karate and XMA in a tournament its really amazing and hard to use it in a real match, because the speed of that kicks are incredible, so i clap xander and the other guy of the quarters to use it in the match
Miguel lost a lot but he slowly seemed to get it back season 4! I think he just rushed too soon because fighting kyler you could see glimpses or maybe that was sheer determination!
Cobra Kai actually isn't that bad of a dojo, they all care for each other a lot, you can see that when Bert is up and Johnny, Miguel, and Hawk are cheering him on
Timothy Kwoh I can vouch for him when I wrestled in high school for my first match I lost, but the difference is that I never got to wrestle again because of my grades in economics
Just wait for the actor to hit puberty and adolescence, maybe the director will ask him to buff up for the next seasons. I want to see him have the same transformation as Hawk.

I love the moment when the MC gets his mike back.
Miguel and his opponents deliver far more impressive fights here than in the season 4 finale! Miguel is simply unrivaled in his intuitive ability and agility.
Miguel has practically dominated every opponent he's gone against.
Why you gotta insult Robby vs Hawk like that? That was a fire match
@@namesdontmattergaming2756 yeah, but if Miguel had competed against both of them, chances are he would've won again.
@@anthonycampos8057 Doesn’t deny the fact they’re fight was impressive regardless
@@namesdontmattergaming2756 yup
I hope Miguel crane kicks Sam in the face in season 2
Edit: wow i didn’t expect all the likes thanks
I hope Sam sits on some guys face in season 2.
I hope Miguel Wins againts Keene in season 2
Dude I'm pretty sure Miguel still likes Sam but I hope he doesn't because it's illegal to do that it's assault
@@ziq1450 legal in an official fight.
I hope Miguel teach that move to Tory, and Tory use that move to kick Sam in the face.
I like that while the mother is screaming outrage that her son lost, her son is actually shaking hands and showing respect to the guy that beat him.
1:42 you can faintly hear someone say "get him a body bag" lol 😂😂😂
Toro Loco 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How else is an extra going to stand out?
Jethro FB Oh my God you can
I heard it myself while in class nice
Just like Tommy saying that in Karate kid
Come on Bert! No Mercy!!! 😂😂😂
lol yeah! 😄
John: kick that pansy b*tch in the face.
Miguel: yes sensei😎
Love it! 😂
1:06
2 years later and im still so satisfied by that punch
Hawk is badass
I love how Miguel kicks Zander right in the damn side
3:17 honestly wouldn't expect anything from Jonny lmao
Cobra Kai is back baby.
Even though Cobra Kai became corrupted, Johnny was a genuinely good sensei. He believed in all of his students.
This scene alone dismantled the entire “illegal kick” argument
I loveee that Daniel used that kick as a big finisher years ago, only to see Miguel mimic a portion of it in the first round like it was nothing😂
I love how people say the crane kick is illegal when Miguel literally did the same thing to that poor dude in the beginning. Also for people who are saying no kicks to the face look at 1:58
No face contact. Johnny didn't get a point for his face punch in Karate Kid 1. But everyone's doing it in this tournament.
Rules have changed
3:33 i didnt even realize miguel and hawk did their handshake there
3:15 i think daniel thought the same as johnny in that moment
@The Jay Even I wanted to kick that pansy bitch in the face.
Who the hell stop the tournament to give a speech like that?
Thanh Do Huu An SJW asshole.
Thanh Do Huu It’d make sense if he was saying something like I’m gonna wreck you all or you’re all weak or you can just quit now. BUT NO he made the most hypocrite speech a karate man could make.
No wonder tournament attendance was declining.
this shows that daniel is no sjw
Notice that Sam wants to see Miguel lose. She really is a bad person who under the direction of her father irrationally hates everything Cobra Kai.
Both their priorities are dead wrong. Absolutely hate them to the core
@@ruthWICKED Daniel is cool, Samantha is a bitch. Period.
@@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 daniel is reasonable for his hate to cobra kai, he was manipulated by cobra kai. Sam is just a plain bitch lmao
I felt the same way about Daniel too but after KK 3, I can understand why he’s a bit concerned with opening of cobra kai. Samantha tho, is just a piece of spoiled shit who has everything cuz of a rich daddy.
I don't think Sam wants to see Miguel lose. But then again I wouldn't completely blame her. She did get punched real hard by a very drunk Miguel.
That little smirk from Johnny when he instructed Miguel to use Daniel’s crane kick had me crying, 😂
The line when Johnny said kick that painsy b in the face and then the fact that Miguel said yes sense I cracks me up everytime
Xander seems like a cool guy, with a unique fighting style. Hope to see him in the sekki tekki
I think he aged out bc he was a returning champion meaning this was probably his last under 18 tournament
The way Johnny looks at Daniel after the kick😂🤣😂🤣
1:53 Miguel Slithered then Strikes Hard with No Mercy.
I like how they didnt change who Johnny is, "kick that pansy in the face" is exactly what johnny would say
Johnny telling Miguel to use the crane kick is such an “alpha move”
I wish that they featured Xander more in the series. Dude had an excellent match against Miguel and he might’ve been able to help out eagle fang in season 4
Cobra Kai the best
MARIOLONEWOLF OSU! Kyokushinkai
Habib Nurmagomedov the best, hi from Russia .Chickens American guys
I missed the "other competitors" that we had in this season in the finals of last season. I personally think it was cool to have one of the schools that wasn't in the rivalry still showing merit.
Sam: "I can't believe he stole your move"
Tryna act like Daniel invented the crane kick.
That crane kick part is probably one of my most favorite moments in Cobra Kai. That trolling is so damn fucking good lol
The crane technique was developed long ago he didn't steal it
I like how they all have their own versions
Xander Stone may be painted as a virtue signaller but you can't deny he's an honest sportsman when he's beaten.
John Kreese: We do not train to be mercy for year, mercy is for the week. Here on the street and competition, the man who can front you, he is the enemy and enemies deserves no mercy. What is the problem, Mr. Lawrence?
Daniel: Hey come on, let's forget this.
Miyagi: Wait, not yet.
1:11 I love when the ref grabs hawk and hawk is like “what do u want”
Payback for Johnny.
I love the look on Miguel's face when he's about to do the crane kick
“Yes Aisha”, she’s probably like “why is Sam even trying to support me after all the BS she has done?!” And didn’t she mentioned supposedly that all cobra kai people are BS?
Dossnt matter. Sam is supporting her BFF aka the one she left. But still recognizes that. That's a good person
I am so glad that thees bad ass shows are here
Samantha: i can’t believe he stole your move
Me: I can’t believe Daniel stole his sinseis move
I can't believe u spelled sensei wrong
Back when Miguel was a complete badass
Season 2 Miguel was his peak
miguel is the strongest if he wasn't injured
Keep in mind Miguel still hasn't lost a fight in the show yet. Obviously not counting the ones before he knew HOW to fight.
@@gagetaylor192 Yeah nobody beats Miguel in a 3round fight. Only people who will come close is Hawk and Robby😂💯 Crazy how they sent Miguel to Mexico to get him out of the fight loop hopefully he comes back stronger
Then he gonna land that tornado kick onto robbies jaw 😂👊@@miles6592
Just like the Karate Kid one, Cobra Kai is the misunderstood heroes once again...
Can we take a moment to appreciate just how adorable Mig's grandma is.
Bad ass Crane Kick to start things off!
That's one of Miyagi-Do-Karate move
He wanted Miguel to do it to spite Daniel.
@The Jay Yeah he did it just to get Daniel angry
It's crazy how much Xolo has grown as an actor since this first season. He wasn't bad, but per say, but it feels much more natural now
He has gotten more calls to play other roles in movies. I think because of his popularity in the Cobra Kai series and his acting has improved tremendously in each season. He supposed to play the main character in a movie called Blue Beetle. It supposed to be a major movie based on a Marvel superhero I think. I think him being in Cobra Kai has helped him improve his acting skills to take on better roles in major movies. I expect to see a lot of him in the future playing in major films after he's done with Cobra Kai.
1:18 the way demitri lifts his eyebrows had me dying lol
The little cobra looks like wormser from revenge of the nerds
Poor Bert. Never stood a chance. Can't wait for his redemption in Season 2.
Sensei. I think I'm going to sit this one out. I'll just get my ass kicked.
The hell you will. This time we're putting you in the junior division.
...There's a junior division?
He's gonna hit puberty in a few seasons from now, and he'll be an interesting character
4:25 MIGUELS BARK THO 💀💀💀😂😂😂😂
''i don't believe he stole your move''
miyagi from heaven: sure...
Johnny just remember the old days😂😂
Xander took it Like a man though
Yes he did, unlike his foul-mouthed mother.
I swear the first cobra Kai group was amazing!
"Cant believe he stole your move"
WTF?!!!!!
I miss the good old days of cobra kai. The new ones are sad and less fights.
Stole his move? That’s just a technique in Karate. I guess Lyoto Machida also stole Daniel’s move when he KOed Couture. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Well....he did. That's why they call him the karate kid.....because he stole his shit from the real karate kid.
i loved this miguel so much
They nerfed my boy Miguel so hard in season 4 😞 Need this absolute relentless killer back!
I mean he did literally break his back☠ thats like the worst injury you can have
This show was actuality pretty great in these early days
No mitts, shin guards, or mouth guards. And competitors are allowed to wear glasses. Just like in real life karate tournaments. Arf.
I love these movie clips 😜
that form of mixing karate and XMA in a tournament its really amazing and hard to use it in a real match, because the speed of that kicks are incredible, so i clap xander and the other guy of the quarters to use it in the match
Just came back to see how badass Miguel once was, hope he can return to this state or even better in S5
Miguel lost a lot but he slowly seemed to get it back season 4! I think he just rushed too soon because fighting kyler you could see glimpses or maybe that was sheer determination!
At least at the end it was honorable
The one with the Mohawk is so good at karate!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️so cool
Not best, but not worst, little bit slow. Looks like having some experience with martial arts in real life. Most of these actors doesn't.
Cobra Kai actually isn't that bad of a dojo, they all care for each other a lot, you can see that when Bert is up and Johnny, Miguel, and Hawk are cheering him on
Man fights got so much better since then.
Poor Bert. Never had a chance to score.
Hunter Cox True but if he was skilled enough, he might have had some chance to take him on. Hopefully, Bert will develop by Season 2.
Why the hell is he wearing a black belt, nobody except miguel, hawk and aishia really should have entered the tourney
Bert is small, but will train and end up a mighty warrior.
Timothy Kwoh I can vouch for him when I wrestled in high school for my first match I lost, but the difference is that I never got to wrestle again because of my grades in economics
Just wait for the actor to hit puberty and adolescence, maybe the director will ask him to buff up for the next seasons. I want to see him have the same transformation as Hawk.
I love that Johnny is taking shots like that kick isn’t the reason he let his life fall in the shitter lmfao.
